Pricing and detailed specifications have been released for one of this year’s most keenly-anticipated electric city cars coming to Australia, the 2025 Hyundai Inster EV.
The Inster will be available in Standard Range with a 42kWh battery and 71.1kW/147Nm output, and Extended Range with a 49kWh battery and 84.5kW/147Nm output. Additional variants will include Inster Cross with Sunroof ($45,000) or Inster Cross with Roof Basket (also $45,000).
The zippy city car is front-wheel drive and offers 327km of range in the Standard Range, and 360km in the Extended Range. A 10.5kW AC on board charger comes standard, with up to 120kW of DC fast charging capable of taking the battery from 10-80 per cent in 30 minutes.
A battery heating system keeps the battery in good health, with the company offering an 8-year/160,000km high-voltage battery warranty as well as a standard 5-year/unlimited kilometre vehicle warranty and roadside assistance.
When equipped with the nifty Roof Basket Option Pack, the WLTP range drops to 293km due to the aerodynamic impost. Acceleration across 0-100km/h takes 11.7s and 10.6 seconds, for the Standard and Extended.
Equipment levels are impressive, with the Standard Range offering a very comprehensive suite of ADAS features including lane keep assist, AEB, highway driving assist, in-cabin camera, rear cross-traffic alert and navigation based smart cruise control. 15-inch alloy wheels and wireless charging cap off a generous equipment level for the four-seater.
The Extended Range variant adds 17-inch alloys, while the Inster Cross adds blind-spot monitoring, parking distance control, 360-degree camera, heated and vented seats, off-road oriented skid plates and bumpers, flat folding front seat backrests and smart climate control. Opting for the roof basket also gets you a smart black two-tone roof.

2025 Hyundai Inster Standard Range: $39,000
