At least for country side, we need the Hyundai Inster Cross , the AWD and better ground clearance for off road version of the same car, but that would mean basically no extra boot space aside from a sliver where you put just the charging accessories, because the back electric motor has to go somewhere. with 15%-30% better ground clearance, AWD wit an extra back motor that is active at low speed, up to 33 mph(53 km/h) for off-road control, then after that it disconnects the electronic clutch leaving the back free and engaging back at 31mph(50 km/h)... For winter and mud control ... Next gen should also include the in line 4 engine generator for an extended range EV (hybrid but the engine only creates electric power for winter and longer distances) , like Edison motors and the Scout Motors Traveler.
P.S. Casper is the name , but because TradeMark they renamed it inster instead... I bet people would buy and re-sell Casper EV badge so you can rename it after you buy it.
Basically a no-BS, down to earth car. No gimmicks, practicality everywhere and cute styling. They’ve nailed it, whereas other manufacturers have completely lost their way in superficiality -ehem, Audi and their obsession with light shows-. Good for Hyundai, I hope others take note.
Is it really a 30k car ? A Renault Zoe has more range, more power and was 50% cheaper when it was on sale. Same with the E-up, a car that has been for sale for 5 years 😊
@purwantiallan5089 Renault Zoe. Came out in 2014. In 2019 they had a facelift that does 395km wltp, higher than this Inster's 345km wltp for the long range
Not an electric car guy but one thing I noticed: That car has physical buttons in the interior. The one thing that bothers me most with many electric and newer cars in general, is that they use touch screen buttons so much now
Hyundai have clearly listened to customer feedback - the functionality looks near-identical to my ‘21 Tucson except In which the media and climate touch controls are all behind a flat panel, totally smooth, devoid of any texture, there’s no hope of developing muscle memory or feeling your way across. It’s both dangerous and a pain in the aris

The price in Korea is between £15,400 and £20,000. It is between £12,000 and £16,300 when government subsidies are included. Cars are really expensive in the UK
This is the type of EV the market now needs. We've had all the £40k plus executive EV's, which most people don't want or need. Smaller, more practical EV's are where it's now at, and this one hits the spot. Its a perfect city commuter, but has the range and capability for longer trips too.

@@isltandemir2996 Higher range, nicer ride... I really dont get the obsession with big wheels. Especially with the inster, where looks are the last thing I care about (cause lets be real, at best its ugly-cute. :p)
I give Hyundai credit; when they develop a whole new car, they actually develop its own dashboard buttons, for the most part, that fit the character of the car, rather than stick the same control units in the center stack used in every car, like most manufacturers do.
I had never heard of this car before, but after this video it is a serious contender for our family's second car. We already have a Model S, so we don't need another huge car, but our 2012 Mazda 2 really needs a replacement soon. I love the quirkyness of this car, yet it is still a solid build and practical one. Those are rare.
this car SCREAMS 90s! and i'm all here for it. Only the exterior and the few modern features in the car (like the digital dash and modern steering wheel) gives away that it's an modern car, otherwise you could convince me this is an 90s car. The exterior is still really quirky like a 90s car, i love it.
The dashboard looks like a mess at first glance, but thinking about it just a moment, it seems PERFECT for usability. All those physical buttons at easy reach.
The comparison he did to it being similar to the exterior of the Suzuki Ignis he could had taken further. The adjustable backseat is another shared feature I'm looking for in my future car, pity it doesn't come with 4 wheel drive 😢
@MaximilianvonPinneberg yaaaaaazzzzz! Love my 2012 Twingo which has those seats. It's awesome. One of the reasons I've been driving it for 12 years. And with the small cars a four seater is really more than enough. I mean the so-called 5 seaters are in reality just four persons and a Leprechaun
The basic petrol version in Korea costs the equivalent of 9000 euros, with a 75hp or 100hp with turbo. I drove it as a rental car there, it's well equipped and the driving position is perfect.
I love this car. not for 26k but as soon as it will be 16k in 18 months I may finally have a replacement for my i3. 360cameras, blind spot cameras, ventilated seats, what not to love!
@@paulgal no. it's korean city car. this is 100% utility with asian style. we could discuss if it could be more European appealing if only any of European manufacturers could use that space in a similar way. but they all failed so far.

They as in evs&phevs have 20x market share just since 2017 genius! Largest ever increase in market share for a complex to manufacture expensive to purchase consumer product in history!
As a 2024 hyundai kona ev driver I can confirm that the blind spot cameras that show the left or the right of the car are brilliant, and the 1 pedal driving that actually comes to a full stop is very easy to use and quickly learnt, we can drive 200 miles to the coast and back and never touch the brake pedal once.
the reason why it's not called the ioniq 1 is because the "inster" is known as the "casper" in korea that's been in production since 2021. my guess is hyundai's upcoming ioniq 2 will share the same platform with kia's new ev3
i drove this car in beanng last year and i loved it so much i hoped they would bring it to europe. It finally arrived and it's the real spiritual successor to the i10, an important car of my childhood so im trurly happy to see videos like this. Im sad they didint keep the korean name though
All cars should have that sliding rear seat mechanism.... It just makes so much sense. Also, is it just me that thinks the black version looks the best?
I really like the idea of being able to fold even the front seats flat, I think more cars should have that feature, not just small ones but all cars really, I mean, if you don't need it, then don't use it, but it's a neat feature to have!
Glad to see this car in carwow! Inster is called 'Casper' in home country Korea, but I think the name 'Casper' has a problem with copyright. Also only in Korea, there is a shorter and petrol engine version of it, which has 1.0L NA or turbo engine and 4-speed gearbox.
Yes the 'Casper' name is not used outside of Korea. I don't know if the popular idea that copyright laws prevent it from being used is correct. 'Casper' is not just the name of a friendly cartoon ghost. It's also an actual word with meaning. It means 'treasurer' in Aramaic and comes from the word Gizbar which is ancient Chaldean. The Chaldeans were a Mesopotamian civilisation that ruled Babylon from the 9th to the 6th Century BCE. Therefore the word has been around a lot longer than the cartoon and as part of a language I doubt it can be copyrighted. Who would own the copyright on a word that is a 2,925 year-old relic of a dead civilisation?
The charge port cover is the only weak point of this car. A giant rectangular cover off angle was the only bad choice. I wish they hid it a little better, but it’s definitely still better than most.
I appreciate the idea of an electric vehicle that is seemingly normal on the inside. Buttons! I would go for an electric car if everything else was normal. I don’t want all the tech nonsense, just the efficiency of the electric car. Car designs like this would be more appealing to me.
We have a kona ev and I really like the buttons in combination with the touch screen. You can live with it without ever touching the screen but it got some nice features that aren't really possible without the touchscreen. But you're not forced to use it
Really like how they give you the choice to prioritise rear seat space over load capacity, amazed that more manufacturers don't do this. Sometimes you just need to carry a car full of people with nothing in the boot and to be able to create more space for the folks in the back is a great idea. Bet Taxi drivers would like cars with this type of flexibility too.
This quickly became my dream car. If only they could offer the option of the bed, blackout curtains. And projector screen and projector, some kind of extra cushy seat covers for the back seats, and folding trays for having over your legs for eating/snacking. Then it could be a bedroom/power nap room on wheels, as well as a living-room. And with stable enough trays, you could also use them as desks for laptops, and use it as a mobile office as well. All in a tiny space. It would not be a camper van, or even close, but still. I think the looks are charming as well. I find the Ignis and C3 picasso charming as well. So it is a car in my taste. Sure I dream of cool sports cars, nice looking cabs as well, but right now, this is the car I actually wish I had.
It really is telling that a car review channel simply doing good quality, informative reviews of basic cars is massive. Yes, TH-cam is different to normal TV and this channel is also built on the crazy stuff but the fact that you can hit 200k views in 7 hours for a tiny little EV really says a lot. (though I'll concede this is a particularly interesting little car)
I’m loving the sliding rear seat options we’re getting on cars now. I mean it’s quite silly to sit all cramped up in the rear whilst you’re not even using your boot?!
The thing they did with the rear seats should be in more cars. I love the size, the price, the buttons, the rear seats. The only thing that ruins it for me is that you can't tow anything.
Nice very unique. Interior/Exterior design 8/10. Power Unit 8/10. Performance 8/10. Overall Score 96/100. Buy as it will be an instant Inster Hit. Hyundai have been nailing it as of late. They know how to capture the market with the WOW factor.
@@GregNicolas-vb6vjNo it doesn’t - not in the UK. Because we’re being ripped off as usual. Rest of Europe can spec them. I think we can only get those in the upcoming Cross model.
This is the perfect small car !! So many clever bits and ideas, small on the outside, but excellent use of space inside. I WILL buy this car if it comes to the US. I haven't been excited about a small car since the 500 and now 500e, but they are way overpriced for what they are. I grew up owning VW Beetles in the 60'S and 70's this Inster would feel like home to me. Thanks for a great review !
Really don’t like manufacturers putting the charge port on the front. Should either be where the petrol cap would go or at the rear somewhere. Should be promoting reversing INTO spaces, not reversing OUT of spaces
Strong people make as many mistakes as weak people. Difference is that strong people admit their mistakes, laugh at them, learn from them. That is how they become strong.
Amazing car for camping, charging your devices over night etc. I really like it and it's so convenient to get out over the middle of the car when the parking place is tiny on your side... Everything looks so convenient (but not the charging cables as no easy place to get them in and out).
Got to experience this car a few weeks back at Everything Electric show (previously Fully charged Show) and from my time with it, its a proper iconic nugget. Hyundai are already offering test drives. Its a shame Carwow don't have a public show like Fully Charged do, to physically experience the past 12 months of reviewed/ Drag raced cars in one place !
Hold your horses there. This is competing with the Citroen e C3, Fiat grande Panda, Renault 5, the VW ID2 and whatever the cheaper Skoda will be called. It’s going to be a very busy market in a couple of years. In my view, this is more practical than the others but the R5 and Panda have it beat on style.
That car feels like the first Twingos, just a good small car, to make a bit of camping, festivals and other stuff like that. Just the prize is a bit too high for it beeing an interesting offer for young people and looks a bit too big on the outside.
Finally a manufacturer that is listening to what people want, a simple basic car that will get you from A to B without all the electric bs and it has physical controls for everything. The only problem is that it is an ev. They need to put a small 1L or 1.2L petrol or diesel engine in this, and it will sell like got cakes. Having said that, a small cheap ev like this could make for a good city car. Because regardless of ev or engine no one is going to go long distance in this little car. Evs normally have crap styling, but this actually doesn't look too bad. It is not the sort of car I would go for, I have a Land Cruiser, Jimny and a BMW road car so doesn't appeal to me in that sense, but I think a lot of people into regular cars will buy this. Other manufacturers need to stop producing cars with all this stupid automated touch control everything crap and go back to basics. Modern retro is the way to go. No one needs lane keep assist or auto braking, etc. If people need or want them systems then they obviously can not drive and should not be on the road.
Utterly insane they keep pretending there is any valid reason not to have a front trunk on these cars. Just sandbagging evs. I guess they think consumers are just that gullible.
Hyundai first to find out that Europeans do not want/need 2.5 tonns,. 400 PS electric cars that costs 50000+ EUR... This is a way foward for electric cars...

'Casper' is not just the name of a friendly cartoon ghost. It's also an actual word with meaning. It means 'treasurer' in Aramaic and comes from the word Gizbar which is ancient Chaldean. The Chaldeans were a Mesopotamian civilisation that ruled Babylon from the 9th to the 6th Century BCE. Therefore the word has been around a lot longer than the cartoon and as part of a language I doubt it can be copyrighted. Who would own the copyright on a word that is a 2,925 year-old relic of a dead civilisation?
Actually, the Casper is the petrol version. Inster is the electrical version.

Another banger Hyundai! Keep em coming!
The charge port cover is the only weak point of this car. A giant rectangular cover off angle was the only bad choice. I wish they hid it a little better, but it’s definitely still better than most.
For most people I think that is the easiest place for positioning the car near a charger.
love the templar cross for the wheels

I appreciate the idea of an electric vehicle that is seemingly normal on the inside. Buttons! I would go for an electric car if everything else was normal. I don’t want all the tech nonsense, just the efficiency of the electric car. Car designs like this would be more appealing to me.
We have a kona ev and I really like the buttons in combination with the touch screen. You can live with it without ever touching the screen but it got some nice features that aren't really possible without the touchscreen. But you're not forced to use it
Ok now thank you Hyundai for making the real successor of the first Renault twingo
I would buy it in a heartbeat if it was offered by Hyundai in my country.😊
The backseat blew my mind. 😂😂😂I even thought that I had changed a video.
The Rodney in me is screaming "Groovy" that has a modern retro vibe quite cool looking thing from Hyundai
This is called the Casper in Korea, I think thats a better name than Inster. Inster sounds like a startup company name lol
sounds like a kitchen appliance machine sold on home shopping tv channels
Really like how they give you the choice to prioritise rear seat space over load capacity, amazed that more manufacturers don't do this. Sometimes you just need to carry a car full of people with nothing in the boot and to be able to create more space for the folks in the back is a great idea. Bet Taxi drivers would like cars with this type of flexibility too.
not my style but I love that it exists. No gimmicks, thrills or frills. a car that works for the masses
This quickly became my dream car. If only they could offer the option of the bed, blackout curtains. And projector screen and projector, some kind of extra cushy seat covers for the back seats, and folding trays for having over your legs for eating/snacking. Then it could be a bedroom/power nap room on wheels, as well as a living-room. And with stable enough trays, you could also use them as desks for laptops, and use it as a mobile office as well. All in a tiny space. It would not be a camper van, or even close, but still.
I think the looks are charming as well. I find the Ignis and C3 picasso charming as well. So it is a car in my taste.
Sure I dream of cool sports cars, nice looking cabs as well, but right now, this is the car I actually wish I had.
I would just buy it for those foldable seats. Why does not every car have that?
It really is telling that a car review channel simply doing good quality, informative reviews of basic cars is massive. Yes, TH-cam is different to normal TV and this channel is also built on the crazy stuff but the fact that you can hit 200k views in 7 hours for a tiny little EV really says a lot. (though I'll concede this is a particularly interesting little car)
I’m loving the sliding rear seat options we’re getting on cars now. I mean it’s quite silly to sit all cramped up in the rear whilst you’re not even using your boot?!
1:02 Anyone missing the classic “Buy. Sell. Carwow” voiceover? 🥲
Yes and no. Yes cus it was unique but no cus it was yet another thing that I'd had to sit thro every single video that is completely irrelevant to me
No cause it sounded shit
The thing they did with the rear seats should be in more cars. I love the size, the price, the buttons, the rear seats. The only thing that ruins it for me is that you can't tow anything.
Nice very unique. Interior/Exterior design 8/10. Power Unit 8/10. Performance 8/10. Overall Score 96/100. Buy as it will be an instant Inster Hit. Hyundai have been nailing it as of late. They know how to capture the market with the WOW factor.
None of scores you mentioned get above 8 the. How the final score gets 96/100 holy
Id buy two of these and a Santa Fe for my 2-ish car driveway if Hyundai sold this in USA
UK car does not have blindspot monitoring and 360 camera, nor the sunroof
Top spec does.
@@GregNicolas-vb6vjNo it doesn’t - not in the UK. Because we’re being ripped off as usual. Rest of Europe can spec them. I think we can only get those in the upcoming Cross model.
This is the perfect small car !! So many clever bits and ideas, small on the outside, but excellent use of space inside. I WILL buy this car if it comes to the US. I haven't been excited about a small car since the 500 and now 500e, but they are way overpriced for what they are. I grew up owning VW Beetles in the 60'S and 70's this Inster would feel like home to me. Thanks for a great review !
Really don’t like manufacturers putting the charge port on the front. Should either be where the petrol cap would go or at the rear somewhere. Should be promoting reversing INTO spaces, not reversing OUT of spaces
Once again...Hyundai understands automobility.👍
This car in Korea is called Casper, but the name is trademarked and they couldn't sell it under that name
I feel like this will be a pretty popular car.
Strong people make as many mistakes as weak people. Difference is that strong people admit their mistakes, laugh at them, learn from them. That is how they become strong.
Amazing car for camping, charging your devices over night etc. I really like it and it's so convenient to get out over the middle of the car when the parking place is tiny on your side... Everything looks so convenient (but not the charging cables as no easy place to get them in and out).
Got to experience this car a few weeks back at Everything Electric show (previously Fully charged Show) and from my time with it, its a proper iconic nugget. Hyundai are already offering test drives. Its a shame Carwow don't have a public show like Fully Charged do, to physically experience the past 12 months of reviewed/ Drag raced cars in one place !
It's kinda ugly, and I love it. Loads of personality and the customizability of the rear seats makes it super versatile.
I like that in the event of a soft crash, no airbag deploy, the charge port will be fked
Changing your ca..
*Skips 35 seconds* 😂
Sorry Mat
You're like most of us 😅🙌
Skoda should do something like this, they are the best for making the most room in small cars
I like this little car. I like car manufacturers are not penalizing people who don't buy more expensive cars anymore.
Not a fan of electric cars in general but I like the design of this one. Puts me in mind of what the reinvented Fiat Panda should look like.
Surprisingly a good car and you can fold a front seat as well? nice you can actually carry long items in small car
That's really cool with the seats. Perfect for when the battery runs out.
What Fiat should be making. Well done KIA. European OEMs are done, gone and they deserve their destiny.
New Fiat Panda is about to drop, it’ll be exactly this ballpark, built in Europe.
Hyundai, not Kia.
@@정도현-q4t같은회사라고 봐도 되죠
Except Renault
Hold your horses there. This is competing with the Citroen e C3, Fiat grande Panda, Renault 5, the VW ID2 and whatever the cheaper Skoda will be called. It’s going to be a very busy market in a couple of years. In my view, this is more practical than the others but the R5 and Panda have it beat on style.
I just love the front seats, so retro like 90s small cars seats
Hyundai is on fire with these cars
This car is pretty cool, if your city only driving this car is a no brainer
27,000 GBP for that! Man that's just insane. I mean 27K in the second hand market would get you a far nicer ICE car with plush interior.
That car feels like the first Twingos, just a good small car, to make a bit of camping, festivals and other stuff like that. Just the prize is a bit too high for it beeing an interesting offer for young people and looks a bit too big on the outside.
thought the same about the size. But apparently it's between the i10 and i20.
Not lots of smaller cars left on the market...
An N version would be cool,the sliding back seats are a fab idea.
This car look like straight out of cyberpunk 2:37 we are going towards future
Finally a manufacturer that is listening to what people want, a simple basic car that will get you from A to B without all the electric bs and it has physical controls for everything. The only problem is that it is an ev. They need to put a small 1L or 1.2L petrol or diesel engine in this, and it will sell like got cakes. Having said that, a small cheap ev like this could make for a good city car. Because regardless of ev or engine no one is going to go long distance in this little car.
Evs normally have crap styling, but this actually doesn't look too bad. It is not the sort of car I would go for, I have a Land Cruiser, Jimny and a BMW road car so doesn't appeal to me in that sense, but I think a lot of people into regular cars will buy this.
Other manufacturers need to stop producing cars with all this stupid automated touch control everything crap and go back to basics. Modern retro is the way to go. No one needs lane keep assist or auto braking, etc. If people need or want them systems then they obviously can not drive and should not be on the road.
Such a beautiful small car! Probably one of the best out there in terms of equipment. 👌🚗
Yep. It is right there with VW Lupo 1.4.
wheer exactly is this car beautiful????
Utterly insane they keep pretending there is any valid reason not to have a front trunk on these cars. Just sandbagging evs.
I guess they think consumers are just that gullible.
Why is the channel not at 10 mil subs yet....cmon people. This is the best online car show these days by far.
Probably because most people can't afford a new car and buy used.
no its not, not even close. Drag races on airfields its the best
@@BlatantBurnerAccount its staged
Hyundai and Kia are killing the competition
Bro I wish all small things could shock people
Hyundai first to find out that Europeans do not want/need 2.5 tonns,. 400 PS electric cars that costs 50000+ EUR... This is a way foward for electric cars...
Great car, but let's be honest, this car is a good £10k too expensive. Enough is enough with these daft inflated prices.
Yep, and we pay a good few thousand more than EU and get less kit!
Should provide a petrol version of it.. it would do crazy sales
Not giving the 5 cool and annoying features is a crime
Japanese Kei cars have been doing these for decades, wish they sold them in the UK!
3.9mi/kWh converted to something that I see on my screen will be about 15.9kWh/100km, which is very good!

Still much more than a Model 3. My average is 13kWh/100km.
@ Your Model 3 is shaped like a melting popsicle, where the Inster is shaped like fridge 😁
I mean.. not really. A much larger more powerful and heavier Tesla Model Y has better efficiency.
