Tiny on the outside, big on the inside, the Inster looks to go toe-to-toe with larger rivals with its own unique way of doing things
The Hyundai Inster is a tiny city car, yet with equipment levels that wouldn’t look out of place in a Mercedes-Benz.While it has grown-up technology, its looks are far more cutesy. It is an electric car, yet small dimensions don’t mean a small range, as it will go up to 229 miles between charges.An interesting and quite different proposition to the norm, then, in being a small car on the outside but does an impression of a larger one in its equipment levels and pricing. Few cars have a track record of success in being small yet with a premium price, the Honda E coming to recent memory to that end. Still, any preservation of small cars is to be welcomed, particularly one as unique in its positioning as the Inster.
