for me hyundai inster is just perfect in may ways, perfect interior and exterior size, perfect comfort for a daily driver, perfect range , perfect power, not that much, but not anemic like the Dacia Spring, perfect climate control with heat pump as standard, nice camera coverage for 360 degrees view, my wishes are to have tesla sentry like 360 recording of each camera compiled in one file, with events being highlighted and long term storage saved, and a bit of and Off-road model, with higher ground clearance, and slightly bigger wheels with a dual focus tire, that engages a smoother tire patch in the middle for efficient road driving, but have high traction tire tread on the size that engage in mud, but also if you deflate the tires a bit for off-road slip conditions, that for the drive tires at least... but that is for my near mountain + river + dirt road case , i also have an apartment, but with solar, i will mostly use a small electric car at the country home.
Greetings from Germany! Really like your videos showcasing new Hyundai / Kia / Genesis models, very detailed, very chill to watch. Like the car, could be a nice secondary car for my wife in the future. Before that looking to get the freshly facelifted / new model year Ioniq 5 N-Line once it comes to Germany.
I think Casper would be a really bad name for Germany, i.e. nothing serious, a joke... things we associate with a Kasper. Inster is much better, although it reminds me of Instagram. Besides the name the car looks very well equipped and with great features. The exterior design could be cooler
Hyundai made it. This is the car that the German market has been waiting for a long time! Perfekt! I think the name Casper is better, it's a bit more provocative.
@@SD_Alias It's above, from 21.900 euro here in the Netherlands. I'm still considering it but I'm currently waiting for my new house to be build and still have to sell my old house. Let's see what 2025 will bring.
This car really caught my interest from the first static presentation. Thank your for this driving impression. Finally a manufacturer that puts all the features from midsized cars into a small affordable car. I mean...VENTILATED SEATS 😮 As a second car for the family absolutely perfect for taking the kids to school and the daily commute to work. Can't wait to see it here on the streets in Germany!
@@calvinang1 I am German and like to support local manufacturers. Decades ago their cars used to have good quality, but since they tried to be criminal and screw people and the environment over by their Diesel software fraud they try to compensate their losses by using cheaper steel and other materials. My last brand new VW was from December 2019 and I had to pay thousands of € in order to continue driving it past the first 3 year technical inspection, because the brake system was so rusty, it had to be replaced. Many others from that generation had the same problems and also many new cars collect water on the inside and lights. Then I read in an article that the board of directors decided to save money on planned obsolescence, since have only the minimum two years of warranty by German law and then your money flows towards their repair network. I am not supporting being screwed over by a ruthless company with degraded quality standards, so I bought an EV by Kia with 7 years warranty that is by far the best and most relaxing car I have ever driven. I have also been driving my girlfriends 5 series combustion BMW, which was only way more expensive and acoustically better attenuated but with all the pseudo autonomous features the Kia takes most of the highway stress off of you and with its true single pedal driving and automatic speed limit adjustments it fun to watch the car taking care of most of the driving. It's also a very efficient EV despite way bigger and comfortable than the ID 3 while having a software that actually works. Anyway I am done with VW and Audi. The best VW used to be Skoda and Seat, using formerly great VW technology while being more practically designed and looking way better and all that for a better price. But since the technical quality is down the hill now, I would also not recommend buying these versions of VW technology anymore.
@@calvinang1 I tried, since they went criminal, screwing the people and environment and now have to make up for the losses, their recent cars quality is a desaster... I tried it and am happily driving a Kia EV now
@@calvinang1 Why help out VW? They've been one of the biggest environmental disasters in history and their financial troubles are of their own making. Also worth pointing out that the VW group EVs may be quite good, but they are significantly more expensive and simply not as good as the competiition from, especially, the Hyundai Group. FFS, even MG is giving VW iD cars a run for the money, though their interiors really aren't very good. However, MG has a new set of interiors for the 4 and new 5 that, knowing how quickly Chinese companies innovate, will be much superior to their current line up. I have very little doubt that the facelifted 4 will be as good as the current iD3, and will undercut it by about 30%! But getting back to the Inster/EV3/iD3 debate; the iD3 is really rubbish in comparison with the EV3. It's got virtually none of the tech of its Korean counterpart, and can't even match the Inster on that front. The Inster is likely to sell from about €19K-€22K, with the EV3 selling from €37K, while the iD3 STARTS at €40K. And considering all the teething troubles the iD3 has had, wtf would I want one?
Kasper means in germany Kasper (also Kasperl or Kasperle, Bavarian Káschberl, Swabian Kaschberle, Alemannic Chaschperli) is the funny hero of the Kaspertheater, a puppet theater usually played with hand puppets.
Also from Germany I can confirm this. So maybe somebody was worried some people would make "fun" of the car because of this name / associated with hand puppets / entertainment for little children. But I don't care, I still prefere the naming "Casper" over Inster. I don't get the explanation why "Inster" was chosen, it makes no sense to me and in addition I don't like Instagram (which I think of hearing "Inster") ;)
I love this car. It's flexibility is unique. So, there is a film for children with a tiny ghost, which name is Casper. Other than that, Kaspar is a real name, but not really used any more. It's nothing negative on it. Imo Casper would be the right name for this cute peace of mobility. I can't wait to test it personally. Could imagine to build a micro camper out of it... thanx for this review, which is long awaited. Greez from Switzerland.
Great video, thank you. My wife and I are seeing one in the UK in October, so looking forward to that. We need an affordable small EV and this looks like it's the one.
Thank you for showing this to us. I can't wait to do a test drive with what might become my first EV. My only worry is the lithium battery. I would prefer a LFP battery as the Geely Galaxy E5 and the Citroen E3 use it, because LFP burns less than lithium. If the Galaxy E5 is the same price, I think I will prefer the Galaxy because of the battery. Casper or Kasper in german is the literal translation of "Joker". Oddly enough, germans often refer to an irregular heartbeat as "Herzkasper" ("joking heart"). And a person that dislikes soup is called "Suppenkasper" ("jokes with soup").
@@franzfrunzner4086 it’s not likely that a battery burn… if you fear the burn you better don’t get into an internal combustion car cause these burn way more often statistically
+1 here. LFP is longer lasting, safer and cheaper. What's not to love. The NCM battery is the only thing negative about this Inster to me. Everything else is perfect.
@CarSceneKorea In the Netherlands, we don't have snowy winters. Mostly, we have mild winters.... Yes, I also love the Inster. Spacious and light EV in a small package and it's looking good! ❤ I wanna testdrive, please!!! The Best EV brands are Hyundai and Kia for sure! 🦾 I luv my Samsung brand also!
Another wonderful test drive. It is great to see you having so much fun. The over the shoulder camera angle is excellent to see the screens and controls. They look great even in bright sunlight. I wonder if they are too much at night? Is there a night driving mode? So jealous you get this now. Can't wait for it to come to Ireland.
It is super bright, no issue with the brightness during the day drive as you've pointed out! You can lower and dim it down for the night drive as well. Great car!
Fingers crossed for America! Lots of Hyundai Venues sold here so I am sure they'll allow Inster to be as well! I love the Inster car and would like to have one in my future as an American
I did compared this - Capser ICE to be precise - to Venue before and it is smaller. Won't say by much, but everyone will be able to tell it's a smaller sibling of Venue.
Hello from London! I love your videos on the inster as it's probably going to be our first EV. It's crazy that small cars don't have the 360 camera and other tech even though they cost a fortune. You're lucky to get front parking sensors. So we're looking forward to getting an EV with decent enough range and the tech to make driving and parking a lot easier 😊🎉 Keep up the great work
Great video! Hoping that Hyundai launches the Inster in India soon, would be a fantastic alternative to the Tata Punch and Nexon EVs as well as the XUV 400
Again very nice video! You got very nice view for details .. and tips how to navigate with the thumb 👍🏻 .. nice! I hope I fit in that thing with my 204cm .. gonna test drive for sure.
Thank you for this video! Here in France, not yet a price has been done, but normally it would be near from the german's one. Definitely kia and hyundai are now providing very funny and disruptive cars. i like very much their modern designs, that stand out from the crowd.
최근에 모터스튜디오 서울을 방문해서 케스퍼 일렉트릭 전시된 차를 직접 보고 타봤습니다. 항상 느끼는 점이지만 리뷰를 전에 보고 가니 리뷰에서 말씀하신 특징이나 내용이 제가 이해한 그대로 나타나 있더군요. 정말 차를 구입하거나 고려하는 사람들한테 딱 맞는 채널입니다. 진짜 리뷰가 보면서 기능을 이해하는데 정말 큰 도움이 됐어요 ㅎㅎ 아직 차를 새로 바꾸려면 1년 정도 남았기도 하고 아무래도 많이 큰 차를 알아볼 것 같아서 과연 현대기아가 후보에 들어갈진 확실하지 않지만, 지금까지 올려주신 리뷰들이 큰 도움이 될 것 같습니다.
@@CarSceneKorea I wonder how it would compare to the Citroen eC3 here in Europe but I guess we have to wait and see! Thank you and I’m hopeful that you will do a test drive on bumpy roads and/or sandy terrain!
The c3 just has self adjust endstop so rebound and high impact on potholes is better, but would you sacrifice this interior for the plastic trash stellantis puts on the ec3? you should ask if the iron lithium cell on the ec3 is enough to justify the bad quality😢😮@@konsevdi
@@mmuller2402 I definitely appreciate what the Inster has to offer. It’s just that the roads where I live are pretty bad and I wouldn’t want to get the Inster and get disappointed with its behaviour on the road. Other than that I have already asked for a preorder here in Greece!
If Hyundai would replace the high glossy ("piano lacquer") plastic surfaces around the buttons in the middle and on the steering wheel buttons with matt plastics (like it's used in other Hyundai and Kia models), it would make the interior much more pleasant. The glossy plastics can reflect the sun and you'll get fingerprints and fine scratches on it very soon. Then if in addition the NMC battery would be replaced with LFP, the car would be an instant buy.
I think more appropriate words to use for this model is Nimble & Agile with regards to handling and characteristics. Also certainly get's the High Smileage score that is so important for a vehicle today. BTW, I appreciate you taking the time to actually show the space inside (clutter-free) with shifter and seats down, I don't think anyone has shown it like that, helps to get a better perspective IMO. Sad;y, this is a "dream car" for here in Canada, we'll never see it, well not for a long time in any case and likely not at a pleasant price point either. Darn Shame, this ticks off everything on my check list very nicely.
Casper is a good name as well, perhaps people link it to Casper the friendly ghost en that might be the reason Hyundai didn't choose that name for Europe.
German here: not sure if I understand the question correctly, but the name Casper just reminds me of the cute little ghost. It’s a good name. Inster is weird by comparison because it’s not written with an a at the end
I personally feel like Hyundai and Kia are the only mass market car manufacturers in this world that actually makes cars that's practical and innovative for daily uses. I am a Hyundai owner myself and I must say I own a car from one of the best car brands in the world .
@@CarSceneKorea Exactly, and I hope that you get to review the Ioniq 6N too since the launch would be sooner, Let's see how well Hyundai brings it as a performance EV giving a tough competition to Tesla.
@@sprockkets BYD is good brand tbh considering its Chinese but they need to work on their brand values and yes pricing. In our country BYD is way overpriced for what they're selling. Still I prefer Koreans over Chinese
I've been waiting for this for a long time: I'd take it as a car subscription :-) :) 🥰🥰🥰😍😍👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 really cool car, ideal for parking in the city, where otherwise fat / big SUVs stand over 1.5 parking spaces and cause big+many annoyances... the insta would be perfect for city traffic :) Please as a car subscription in germany 🥰😍🤩🙏
I have chronic back and neck pain, so I need a car that I can effortlessly maneuver in tight city streets with little blind spots yet still give me a smooth ride. Would the Inster be a perfect fit for me? Heard rumors that it will be sold in Indonesia
I sure do hope so, but I can only tell you to give it a test drive to see if the car suits your needs. I'm no expert on that field nor should I dare to comment such a thing about it😭
Minute 20:29 The car can do 450 kms on one charge? At what speed? But doesn't Hyundai say it runs about 355 km? How many kilometers have you covered with a 49kWh charge? By the way, what do you know about Inster Cross?
The real-world range differs and depends heavily on the environment the EV is being driven including the human factor. I want to say with confidence that all Hyundai Motor Group EVs provide better driving range than suggested ones found from catalogue - and this Inster is no exception. Inster Cross is coming to European market it seems, no details yet to be found except that I've posted on the Community.
Not really, it is different kind of fun which hot hatches - i30N, Veloster N from the brand - provide let alone Hyundai cars. It is those weird sensation of you get from a tiny yet heavy and powerful vehicle with such body roll😉
Hi there, end of the year the Hyundai Inster will be available in Germany for pre-order. I’m still not sure if I should buy this car or the Kia EV3. You mentioned that several other people face the same issue. So I thought, maybe it would be possible for you to show us the difference in a site-to-site comparison with both cars. I lack imagination, so the raw numbers do not help me, unfortunately 😅. Thanks for consideration and thanks for your great work so far, keep going 👍🏾
Zaczynamy od Europy (w wybranych krajach) i mamy nadzieję, że zostanie ona wprowadzona na szersze rynki! Starting with Europe - selected countries - and sure do hope it will be introduced in wider markets!
I'm so happy Korea has kept Casper as the name. I test drove the turbo Casper, and sadly, the power was the one thing that really let it down. Going up a hill, it just died, dropping down to the first gear, roaring it's little head off and going nowhere! I think this electric version will fix it's one (fairly major) problem. One question though, how is the suspension compared to the ICE cars? With such small wheels and light vehicle, the ice seemed to really HIT bumps in the road. I would guess with the extra weight, they electric would have upgraded suspension?
All valid points. Good that you did not drive naturally aspirated model😂 the ride is fairly different from the extended wheelbase to the weight of the vehicle, which also has to do with different suspension indeed. Better ride and upgraded ride overall.
Nice review. I don't see much difference between sport mode and normal mode. Is that true? Will the Inster be software upgradeable to version 2 in this first gen Inster in due time? Will it be OTA update finally? Can you show a demo of the turning radius? The camera doesn't look very high resolution. Looks bad on camera. Is that true? How is the ground ckearance? In the Kona and Soul the ground clearance is not great.How fast is usb A and C charging? 15-30-65-100 PD Watts? Will the Inster come with solar charging, like the Ionniq 5? I think a better name for the Inster wiuld have been Actor or Actro or EV1.
Hello my friend! Please tell me when I can buy the Casper/Inster in Germany. Does the European version also have sliding rear seats? Will there be a German menu? Can I mirror my Samsung phone on the display? For me this is my next car. It is the best construction on the market. Thanks for this video! Kind regards, Thomas 😉😊

Again very nice video! You got very nice view for details .. and tips how to navigate with the thumb 👍🏻 .. nice! I hope I fit in that thing with my 204cm .. gonna test drive for sure.
My colleague at Fully Charged Show - Jack, who is 198cm tall - fits okay on the second row seat :) Hope it won't be too bad!
Front passenger seat fold-down is an excellent idea.
Driver seat does it too!
Thank you for this video!
Here in France, not yet a price has been done, but normally it would be near from the german's one.
Definitely kia and hyundai are now providing very funny and disruptive cars.
i like very much their modern designs, that stand out from the crowd.
From this all the way to IONIQ 5 N😎 The game is on!
@@CarSceneKorea sure!
최근에 모터스튜디오 서울을 방문해서
케스퍼 일렉트릭 전시된 차를 직접 보고 타봤습니다.
항상 느끼는 점이지만 리뷰를 전에 보고 가니 리뷰에서 말씀하신 특징이나 내용이 제가 이해한 그대로 나타나 있더군요.
정말 차를 구입하거나 고려하는 사람들한테 딱 맞는 채널입니다. 진짜 리뷰가 보면서 기능을 이해하는데 정말 큰 도움이 됐어요 ㅎㅎ
아직 차를 새로 바꾸려면 1년 정도 남았기도 하고 아무래도 많이 큰 차를 알아볼 것 같아서
과연 현대기아가 후보에 들어갈진 확실하지 않지만, 지금까지 올려주신 리뷰들이 큰 도움이 될 것 같습니다.
더욱 열심히 공부하고 리뷰해야겠다는 생각이 드는 댓글이네요 도움이 되었다니 기쁩니다. 사실 제가 한건 별로 없어요... 차가 너무 잘 나왔을 뿐🤣
Side view is awesome.. nice practical car for city drive
Thank you for mentioning EV3 :) cant wait for a test drive in the UK! finally some high tech in the smallest segment.
You will love it :)
Could you give us an idea of the suspension system? Is it good with small cracks and bumps on the road?
Good enough given the car being. Not the best one from Hyundai, but much better than the ICE model, Casper.
The extra weight from the batteries does really help!
@@CarSceneKorea I wonder how it would compare to the Citroen eC3 here in Europe but I guess we have to wait and see! Thank you and I’m hopeful that you will do a test drive on bumpy roads and/or sandy terrain!
The c3 just has self adjust endstop so rebound and high impact on potholes is better, but would you sacrifice this interior for the plastic trash stellantis puts on the ec3? you should ask if the iron lithium cell on the ec3 is enough to justify the bad quality😢😮@@konsevdi
@@mmuller2402 I definitely appreciate what the Inster has to offer. It’s just that the roads where I live are pretty bad and I wouldn’t want to get the Inster and get disappointed with its behaviour on the road. Other than that I have already asked for a preorder here in Greece!
You look extremely happy!
I sincerely was😉
I hope the Hyundai Casper/Inster would bring the Philippines and also the Sonata Facelift.
Fingers crossed!🤞
Alright gets to know if it is a Philippine spec version.
If Hyundai would replace the high glossy ("piano lacquer") plastic surfaces around the buttons in the middle and on the steering wheel buttons with matt plastics (like it's used in other Hyundai and Kia models), it would make the interior much more pleasant. The glossy plastics can reflect the sun and you'll get fingerprints and fine scratches on it very soon.
Then if in addition the NMC battery would be replaced with LFP, the car would be an instant buy.
I've felt that very much with my latest test drive with Niro EV indeed.
everything under 3,9 meter , 350km range and space for sleep is a winner!
Looks great. Hyundai/KIA/Genesis just keep on delivering amazing EVs (and ICE cars)
I think more appropriate words to use for this model is Nimble & Agile with regards to handling and characteristics. Also certainly get's the High Smileage score that is so important for a vehicle today.
BTW, I appreciate you taking the time to actually show the space inside (clutter-free) with shifter and seats down, I don't think anyone has shown it like that, helps to get a better perspective IMO.
Sad;y, this is a "dream car" for here in Canada, we'll never see it, well not for a long time in any case and likely not at a pleasant price point either. Darn Shame, this ticks off everything on my check list very nicely.
I hope Hyundai is reading the comment section here, many in NA want this!
Nice presentation. May be, it would be my first EV here in Germany. Try to get one in 2026, short time used. Regards from Germany, looking forward...
Thanks for watching!
Perfect Car and good Price....
big americans pickup truck did not sell very well these days i think the small cars wave will comeback !
Thank you for the informative video!
Will there be a 5 seat version?
There is no mention about such, it is a 4-seater indeed.
Casper is a good name as well, perhaps people link it to Casper the friendly ghost en that might be the reason Hyundai didn't choose that name for Europe.
Casper was a little cute ghost in my favourite cartoon! Of course i prefer the name "Casper" than the "inster"😅 Love from Greece
Same here!🇬🇷
Hello from Barcelona. This car looks so good.
Hello there 🇪🇸
Awesome! so informational and personal! thank you. Mouli G Marur, Madras, India.
Appreciate it!
Hi from the UK, great review👍but how is the ride on rough tarmac?
More of that coming in upcoming vids!
Glad to see you back
I've always been here, I edited my wife's video🤣
Ich freue mich auf die Probefahrt wie ein Kasper.
Sie werden es lieben!
You will love it!
Great review. Thanks.
German here: not sure if I understand the question correctly, but the name Casper just reminds me of the cute little ghost. It’s a good name. Inster is weird by comparison because it’s not written with an a at the end
Thailand wants the Inster too!
🇹🇭
👏👏👏 We look forward to the video comparing it to the Kia Ray EV 😉😉
Maybe this is what you’re looking for?

@@CarSceneKorea Yessss! 😁😁😁 I didn't know that you already did it 😅😅😅 Thank you very much, and right now I'm going to have a look at it 😍😍
Dear Kim, do you have by chance a picture or something similar about the battery from the Inster EV, please?
Been waiting on the Ray in Europe ever since I first saw it in Korea!!
The current model won’t make it there unfortunately 😭
I wish we had a vehicle like this in the US
I love the part where you showed us the boot and the cargo area with the seats down not
I personally feel like Hyundai and Kia are the only mass market car manufacturers in this world that actually makes cars that's practical and innovative for daily uses. I am a Hyundai owner myself and I must say I own a car from one of the best car brands in the world .
Well there is BYD but they are overhyped and they compare their prices in China which isn't going to work anywhere else.
Hyundai & Kia's years of experience with ICE cars also plays a big role in the era of EVs!
@@CarSceneKorea Exactly, and I hope that you get to review the Ioniq 6N too since the launch would be sooner, Let's see how well Hyundai brings it as a performance EV giving a tough competition to Tesla.
@@sprockkets BYD is good brand tbh considering its Chinese but they need to work on their brand values and yes pricing. In our country BYD is way overpriced for what they're selling. Still I prefer Koreans over Chinese
@@Punisher_19 I will test drive the IONIQ 6 N. It is currently the most sought-after car for me! :)
does it drive well in uphill and downhill?
Yep, feels like 200ps - 250ps ICE car.
Make it here in Brazil
I like Casper as a name.
I can’t unsee the Baymax eyes
I've been waiting for this for a long time: I'd take it as a car subscription :-) :) 🥰🥰🥰😍😍👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 really cool car, ideal for parking in the city, where otherwise fat / big SUVs stand over 1.5 parking spaces and cause big+many annoyances... the insta would be perfect for city traffic :) Please as a car subscription in germany 🥰😍🤩🙏
Thanks!🇩🇪
I have chronic back and neck pain, so I need a car that I can effortlessly maneuver in tight city streets with little blind spots yet still give me a smooth ride. Would the Inster be a perfect fit for me?
Heard rumors that it will be sold in Indonesia
I sure do hope so, but I can only tell you to give it a test drive to see if the car suits your needs. I'm no expert on that field nor should I dare to comment such a thing about it😭
This car will be a huge success in Europe. Well done Hyundai 👍🏼
🤞Let’s go!
Here in the U.S… might get me to go electric if they brought it here! ( midwest US awd too lol👍🏻)
They need to! Everyone would love it!
The energy efficiency is extremely perfect. How come that much great 👍
Right?
will it be available in the Philippines?
Korea and Europe for now.
Philippines have Infra structure for EV cars?? just curious.
Minute 20:29
The car can do 450 kms on one charge?
At what speed?
But doesn't Hyundai say it runs about 355 km?
How many kilometers have you covered with a 49kWh charge?
By the way, what do you know about Inster Cross?
The real-world range differs and depends heavily on the environment the EV is being driven including the human factor. I want to say with confidence that all Hyundai Motor Group EVs provide better driving range than suggested ones found from catalogue - and this Inster is no exception. Inster Cross is coming to European market it seems, no details yet to be found except that I've posted on the Community.
Great little EV! If this is Hyundai's cheapest EV, I wish this to come to Australia AND New Zealand! We can use more variety of cheaper EVs.
Couldn't agree more!
양질의 리뷰 감사합니다 이쁜 눈나는 어디가셨읍니까?
그렇지않아도 같이 촬영했습니닼ㅋㅋㅋ 편집해서 올릴게요!
@@CarSceneKorea 피드백 감사합니다.. !!🥰🥰
It's practical with the switchblade rear seats
Great review as usual! In your opinion, would you consider this as a hot hatch?
Not really, it is different kind of fun which hot hatches - i30N, Veloster N from the brand - provide let alone Hyundai cars. It is those weird sensation of you get from a tiny yet heavy and powerful vehicle with such body roll😉
@@CarSceneKorea thanks for that insight! gotta test drive one to find out that unique sensation is about! haha
Hi there, end of the year the Hyundai Inster will be available in Germany for pre-order. I’m still not sure if I should buy this car or the Kia EV3. You mentioned that several other people face the same issue. So I thought, maybe it would be possible for you to show us the difference in a site-to-site comparison with both cars. I lack imagination, so the raw numbers do not help me, unfortunately 😅. Thanks for consideration and thanks for your great work so far, keep going 👍🏾
I would go with EV3 unless you find something that is a must for you out of Inster’s traits, i.e., size, design, price, brand, etc.
if the inster can have an iihs 5 stars safety score why not in north america
podoba mi się ten samochód , myślę że w polsce by się dobrze sprzedawał bo brakuje takich małych samochodów
Zaczynamy od Europy (w wybranych krajach) i mamy nadzieję, że zostanie ona wprowadzona na szersze rynki!
Starting with Europe - selected countries - and sure do hope it will be introduced in wider markets!
I'm so happy Korea has kept Casper as the name.
I test drove the turbo Casper, and sadly, the power was the one thing that really let it down. Going up a hill, it just died, dropping down to the first gear, roaring it's little head off and going nowhere! I think this electric version will fix it's one (fairly major) problem.
One question though, how is the suspension compared to the ICE cars? With such small wheels and light vehicle, the ice seemed to really HIT bumps in the road. I would guess with the extra weight, they electric would have upgraded suspension?
All valid points. Good that you did not drive naturally aspirated model😂 the ride is fairly different from the extended wheelbase to the weight of the vehicle, which also has to do with different suspension indeed. Better ride and upgraded ride overall.
Nice review. I don't see much difference between sport mode and normal mode. Is that true? Will the Inster be software upgradeable to version 2 in this first gen Inster in due time? Will it be OTA update finally? Can you show a demo of the turning radius? The camera doesn't look very high resolution. Looks bad on camera. Is that true?
How is the ground ckearance? In the Kona and Soul the ground clearance is not great.How fast is usb A and C charging? 15-30-65-100 PD Watts? Will the Inster come with solar charging, like the Ionniq 5?
I think a better name for the Inster wiuld have been Actor or Actro or EV1.
Google "EV1" and you will see it's taken.
There are differences between drive modes indeed, more of that in later video.
Just love the var Inster but the name Casper are better 😍
Hello my friend! Please tell me when I can buy the Casper/Inster in Germany. Does the European version also have sliding rear seats? Will there be a German menu? Can I mirror my Samsung phone on the display? For me this is my next car. It is the best construction on the market. Thanks for this video! Kind regards, Thomas 😉😊
It typically takes about six months for new models to reach other parts of the globe 🥲
