The Casper is all over the place in Korea. Fantastic little car. Koreans, after all, make the best cars in the world. But you probably don't know that yet.
@@sooncheolyoon759 If LG makes car batteries like they used to make phone batteries, then they're a winner. I have a 16 year old LG phone where the battery has bloated slightly the last few years because I haven't used it in over a decade, but the phone and battery STILL works! Currently in the market for a new car, so this is very tempting.
My Aunt is looking for a small EV, and they don't sell small cars at all in Australia any more. This is an option and she currently drives an i20. Her main issue with this is that she doesn't like the boxy faux SUV look of the car and would prefer the classic small car look. Since she lives alone she is massively over producing solar power and being able to use that to travel over going to the grid would be a boon. Its between this and if the BYD Seagull comes to Australia.
Yeah!... It seems they're coming with this for Europe. No way! Ugly as hell!... KIA/Hyundai still have perhaps the best EV cars on the market right now, but this one I have serious doubts on its success. Better then to make something from the Kona downward to a more simple thing and then cheaper than to invest millions on what for certain markets will resemble such a car from the Soviet era! On a more positive note: Range and the inside are great for the segment at this time and age. It might to sell well on certain markets like my own Portugal where or in Brazil where price is the main selling driver. Not so much on western Europe where the memories of the Soviet era are still very present...
Looks good but I worry about poor Hyundai rust proofing, only one year then body must be inspected every two years to keep renewing it. Toyota, VW, Skoda etc guarantee for twelve years with no inspections.
Where does Hyundai publish this information? I don't believe you're correct. This is what Hyundai say: "Hyundai offers a 12-year anti-perforation warranty that protects new Hyundai vehicles' body sheet metal panels from corrosion and rust holes caused by workmanship defects and normal use, regardless of mileage"
All manufacturers advertise 6,8,12 years anti corrosion warranties. When you check the service warranty book in the UK it then has the terms and conditions, Hyundai lacking confidence in rust proofing stipulate inspections within 30 days of 1.3,5,7,9,11 years from first registration. It’s a con because for the tiniest stone chip the dealer can insist unless you have the panel resprayed the warranty is invalidated. From memory currently only Toyota, Lexus, VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Cupra are the only brands who actually have a proper 12 year anti corrosion warranty requiring no mandatory inspections. Fiat, Alfa Romeo used to be similar but now part of Stellantis only guarantee for two years, then every two years a mandatory inspection for the 8 year anti corrosion warranty.
@@Victor-rv7fx Remember, this TH-cam channel is Australian and talks about cars supplied to Australia. Almost all Hyundai and Kia models are sourced from South Korea for Australia, not Europe. In Australia, they have very strict rules with regards to cars and buyers are protected under Australian Consumer Law. Rust has never been an issue with Kia and Hyundai cars in Australia; I've not heard of any problems over the last 10 years.
@@Richard-sl8we Yeah, it really depends on where you buy the car. I don't think they can stipulate something like that where I'm from (Norway) for instance, because we have buyer's protection built into our laws. You can make legal complaints regardless of their warranty for at least 5 years when buying from a dealership, and 2 when buying from a private person. You also have to attend a mandatory EU control within 4 years of buying a new car, and every two years after that, so I assume the warranty is made to fit international control standard. Basically, having someone check your car every other year to keep your warranty is a non-issue for people who own cars where an EU control is mandatory.
So these are going to sink in resale value just like the Mazda MX-30 electrics. EV without a base range of at least 500km WLTP (450 real world) are just not viable once battery SOH drops below 80%

The fact that it has actual physical buttons on the dash makes it a winner. I hope more car manufacturers do the same.

Small low powered BEVs makes perfect sense. It will be likely be cheaper to buy and would hit the pricing sweet spot
Big ,small batteries , power both required for different people, needs... Just like ice.
A potentially perfect little car for the UK. Get a move on, Hyundai.
Thanks for the review. What do you think of the sound/ noise inside compared to other cars?

It’s coming to the UK in Jan 2025 priced at around £25,000
Yes, in right hand drive, hopefully.
@@markdebank3867 of course it will be RHD
Does it use blade / prismatic batteries?
No, it's NCMA by LG Energy Solutions.

In my opinion, the BYD Seagull will come to Australia in 2025; most likely by June.
It’s a great gong for the cutting edge product like this. It’s never gonna cork up when it comes to mileage.I will call my family about this.
How much does this vehicle weigh?!
1250 kg.
awesome car, single man's dream haha
Did you tell us the likely price range in Australia ??
Most likely start at $35k.
한국 가격은 2990만원으로, 달라로 하면 약 $23.000 정도 합니다. 호주에서는 조금 더 비쌀 것으로 예상해 봅니다.
Will start at AU $35,000 in Australia in my opinion, hopefully will launch in Q1 of 2025.
Was that in-car audio from the DJI mic? If so that car is NOISY inside.
I like this car. Unfortunately it doesn't exist in Europe, at least I've never seen one.
It's going to be launched in Europe.
it's coming to the UK in first half of 2025
Ignis ev😂
한국에서의 첫 운전인 것인가
it is a Suzuki Ignis, copy paste
I hope so - chose an Ignis for my Late mum. It’s a joy to drive around town. EV version of Ignis would be perfect replacement for my Volt.
No way are you blind? 😂😂
30k++ thats too expensive for that size
But the Fiat 500e has a price of $50k?

by the looks ..no thx..
Want in India with a small powerful 800cc turbo diesel engine
If it doesn't start with a $2x,xxx I'd rather get a Golf
Good luck finding a new Golf for “$2X,XXX
