    Who needs more than 100 horsepower for a city car? You sound like a teenager who wants to prove he's got the biggest.

    I think Viking has misread the family car market. He wants a big SUV so he can put his and his sons' bikes in the back, and have top-end acceleration. I believe that most families want a city runabout (ideally EV) that has ENOUGH power and range, not top-end. This Inster EV is one of the first cars that has enough, and is also cheap enough to attract mass-market purchasers. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm also interested in what other people think, as that will dictate the car companies' future EV plans.

  • @keithhooper6123

    even narrower than the i-10 by 5 cm. I dont see the reason for that. All the best to You from Switzerland. I am looking forward to buy the new Inster. I love the practical interior.

    Inster could corner the market as one of the first under 25000 euro cars in Europe, now that the Chinese competitors have been hit with tariffs. Many people are waiting to buy an affordable electric car. The first brand to get there gets the sales and those people are off the market for years. NMC is a bit old-school, but a livable solution considering the low mileage city environment and big enough battery. Even if the battery only lasts 1000 cycles, it's still enough for most customers.

  • @eclecticcyclist

    Ideal for someone who primarilly drives in built up areas but needs the range to do the occasional long journey as opposed to the Dacia Spring or Honda E which are or were limited to city driving.

  • @RWBHere
    @RWBHere 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    1:30 - That's not particularly underpowered; it can travel at up to 93 mph. It's intended to have adequate power for the speed limits in many countries, and to be an affordable small car.
    The biggest problem I can see with those specifications is that it can only recharge on AC at 11 kW. That's abysmally low today, when AC recharging at up to at least 43 kW AC 3-phase is available. It should be rechargeable at 22 kW AC as a minimum. Tesla fall into the same pit with their low AC recharging speeds. Even our old Zoe with a maximum of only 50 kW DC recharging can recharge on 3-phase AC at 22 kW. The DC recharging speed of the Inster is fine, however. And the retail price is too high for what is being sold.

    A used one of these in a couple years will make someone very happy as their first car. We absolutely need affordable EVs for oil independence. I think this might have the potential of what the Kia Soul has done for Kia, but for Hyundai's EV division. Its got personality, ok specs, great practicality, affordable, and not Chinese. You have to understand that most everyday car buyers (non-enthusiasts) don't have the luxury of choice. They primarily go on price, and if its 'good enough' they will buy it.

    You would struggle to find a ICE automatic with similar spec for the pricing they are estimating ( £22k UK)

    Performance is adequate, not blistering. Faster than the new Suzuki Swift, slightly bigger boot, similar size. Might be a second car for a family, but for a young couple or an older couple with an “empty-nest”, I think it would do well as a main car here in the UK.

  • @garywilliams5794
    @garywilliams5794 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    I'm a little surprised by this, I have driven an older Suzuki Swift for a few years around country Victoria Australia and it has less power and acceleration than the Inster, but it has never been an issue in traffic or freeways. Perhaps I forgot to take account of the lead foot syndrome :)

      California is considering remote public throttling of vehicle speed through gps controlled governors to reduce accidents. EVs would be the easiest cars to implement this safety feature.

    In some countries, like Australia and USA, many people think that a car has to be at least over 2.5 metric tons, 500hp and 5 meters long, to transport their body.
    I have my drivers license for over 50 years and never ever had the need for more than 100hp to overtake someone.
    The ORA Cat is around €35.000 in Europe. The price prediction of the Inster is around €25.000. So everything you say in this video is absurd.

    My wife drives a KIA Picanto ICE car, 1.2L @62kw max output. I think 0-100 in 11 seconds would be a significant upgrade and she only gets 330km per tank. I think we need to go back to basics here. It's a city car. I don't often get to 100 in her car and when I do, it's not normally from a stand still on to a freeway.

    I think Hyunadai hot the nail on the the head with the imster. The specs for what you get are amazing for the total package. For me the imster ticks off a lot of boxes for me for the interior amd exterior design, all in a small package design and a range with the top model that for me amakes this ev a potential great all rounder, and the size is great for the small European roads and still has range and power sufficient to join in highway and city traffic, compared to many higher horespowermetric EVs that are relatively big inside compromise more in terms of space in the rear seat leg space and heads pace interior and let's be real that in real world use you mostly don't have opportunities to really use all the full horsepower and speed with the preposterous 0-100 kph speeds without the greater chance of becoming poorer with traffic tickets for speeding. I still drive a Toyota aygo 2005. I really want to transition to EV, and for me the imster in this A segmented category sounds like almost a no brainer to me to move to electric, that is the ultimate goal eventually what we would want more people to transition to going forward and making sound financial and balanced decision what a best choice is. I think simply the doubt and slight negative presentation of the imster because of the limited horsepower is not doing the overall package and value justice, but I can understand to some degree one would perhaps some nippy characteristics for the so called traffic over taking specific scenarios. I think in that regard we should not forget that this car is electric with continuous torque. If I compare this to my current aygo, where with some downshifting I can do reasonable overtaking in the city and highway with only 69 hp with a 1,2 injection motor and 0-100 in 13-15 seconds, I think with the 0-100 time of 10 seconds and 1113 hp for the top model, for me that would translate to a very nippy car. And on top of that, it is an EV with a flat floor interior, despite the hyped claim of a "compromised" ice/ev platform, has amazing seating space for taller people front AND back, adjustable seating thatb I've only seen in some higher end models and not even Tesla has, to me makes this EV potentially a hidden gem in the compact A segment EV space, that to me makes a lot of sense as a practical good all round compact EV, even from the premiliminaryforstbllok demos is amazing! I think it will do okay with weaving in and out of traffic and overtaking in general. With looks I agree to small degree the rounded lights combined with the more meaner looking top and front lights looks perhaps a bit Frankensteinian, but at a second look, I think the design does grow a little bit and is interesting to see a kind of smart use of visual design of roughness combined with the rounder cuter looking lines for more balance. In that regard hyundai/Kia now I think about it does have this interesting combined design in many of their current EV vehicles in general. Interestingly quirky designs. But lately I can't help think hyundai and Kia are offering very compelling EV designs and practicality. I agree on the latter I hope the price is right when coming to market. Seeing the current offering of the Hyundai Kona and Soul electric secind hand price offerings I can understand the elecyric vikings suggested pricing of 15-16000 euro price at first glance. What I find rough in the 20-25000 euro new price offer in instant though is that a 20-22000 euro price, new, does sound reasonable, because on paper it quite fully specced, compared to current second hand B and C segment EV offerings of the same brand and in that regard even to European and Chinese EV offerings on paper in the same EV A and to some degree even B segment space. The imster, a very interesting and tempting A segment vehicle. Very surprising!

    Viking never had Marketing Training on school. He is asking himself questions which are actually easy to answer. If people ask for a smaller the car maker sees a market. It is the market, actually the different markets around the world that decide weather such a car has succes. Then every market has its own safety values. Thus in one country the car comes with bigger bumpers and a extra airbag, on the other less. It's all about can be spent. If a car comes to a market the car maker will bring first a standard model so that it can upgrade to extent its lifespan. That means they start with a lower mileage due to a smaller battery. Steel rims can be added etc. all which will change in time to a extended range, more power, alloy rims etc. etc. Sometimes the range and power a matter of a software update. Thus all cars leave the factory with the same specs but depending on the market will launch with a different in bits and bites. You will see that a base model will come with a price which will drop soon. In the same time as mentioned above the car will be equipped with more features.
    ...how hard is that to understand? !!

    It looks like it is based on the Hyundai Venue (in Canada) which is a great little car to drive. The driver position and the handling is excellent. I don't know why I need more than 113hp, but I have never tried a small vehicle of this weight, but 0-100km in 11.7 is slower than the Venue but I think it is a manageable problem.

    Having seen a review where the driver’s seat was set at 6’3”, was easily able to sit behind that position in the rear so it’s a bit of a tardis when it comes to passenger space for four. As for the non earth shattering power, it’s a citycar so a little less relevant and definitely not dangerous as that’s where it’s going to spend most of its life - horses for courses 😎

    @bioniccrouton 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The Inster interests me not because of its power , but because of the domination of larger power drinking EVs it taps the right lane drivers who do not need to rush past everyone. That is the vehicle's appeal. Now they just need to keep the price low or I will just purchase it in the used market.

    Over 100 HP sounds perfectly adequate for a small car to me - most EVs are grossly over powered for city driving. This should be fine, if not exceptional on the open road.

    It's not the cheapest compare to Dacia Spring but Inster will probebly make a big change on the market for comfortable city cars that also work on highway use.

    Chevy spark ev had 140HP 400 ft-lb torque (543 Nm), 0-60 in 7.2 seconds, charged 0% to 80% in 20 minutes (no taper all the way to 80%), thermal management that allowed some autocross racing, all of this in 2014 (made in 2013).

  • @victorsvoice7978

    We need more choices in the city hatchback end of the ev market. Australia gets too many expensive large suvs and pickup trucks. But the price will determine if the Hyundai Inster can compete with Chinese brands. This small city car segment has been abandoned by most car brands when it comes to Australia.

  • @robertimrie3710
    @robertimrie3710 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Don't agree Viking Sam. LFP allows 100% use of a small battery and it's more stable, you know this stuff. As for 11.7 seconds, thats better than the Seagull at 13 to 14 seconds, and I drove hatchbacks Insta modest for 3 decades. The back seat of the Insta will fit a 6ft 6 Jack in the back. So my big issue is no LFP and that will add to cost along with the overly fancy interior for a entry level car. I expect Atto 3 pricing for this because Hyundai, and that is a big ask

    • @geoquestprime9447
      @geoquestprime9447 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I think you would be wrong. When you purchase an electric vehicle, you must check whether the car is equipped with an NCM or NCMA battery with a high nickel percentage (90% or more). Among existing battery types, the ultra-high Nickel NCM or NCMA not only has the highest energy density and the best low-temperature characteristics but also the fastest charging speed. Moreover, cost efficiency, i.e. price per unit volume/weight considering energy density, would be better. Due to fundamental technical characteristics, LFP batteries are not suitable for electric vehicles that require a high C-Rate (high current charging/discharging). So it is not stable in such high C-rate environments. Instead, it is more suitable for ESS (Energy Storage System).

    전기차를 타봤는지조차 의심되는 멘트를 하는군요? 전기차의 11초는 내연차의 11초와 다릅니다. 서있는 상태에서 출발 시 가속이 필요한 60M 이내에서 전기차가 더 빠르기 때문에 전기차의 11초는 내연차의 9초와 비슷하게 보면 됩니다.
    그리고 가격이 $22K 언더 이므로 경쟁력이 있습니다. 바이킹의 시각은 여러 지역의 사용자를 고려하지 않는 것 같습니다. 호주 기준으로도 말할 수 있지만, 글로벌한 기준으로는 충분히 경쟁력 있는 좋은 차입니다. 특히 영국, 인도 같은 지역이요. 다른 지역에서는 호불호가 갈릴 수 있고, 생산 국가인 한국에서조차 큰 흥행이 안 될 수도 있습니다. 한국 사람들은 큰 차량을 선호하거든요. 그럼에도 가격이 잘 나왔기 때문에 일정 부분의 흥행은 될 것으로 보고 있습니다.

    Overpowered cars demands stiffer suspension, special, and expensive, tires, led to multiple unnecessary reinforcements in the motors, etc...
    And, personally, I suffer from "lead foot syndrome" and love to floor the accelerator. And hate when I can't because the car is so fast that in seconds I have to stop because it becomes dangerous.
