Hyundai INSTER

Cooper and Ioniq 5 just had a baby

It's for people to post on Instergram

I3 is brilliant urban EV but unfortunately we are going to need more range than our 60Ah provides. A 120Ah may end up being what we go for but looking at alternatives.

I watched the fully charged shows review and it popped up on the screen with a €27k price tag. Now the price will vary from country to country within the eurozone but it looks like in Ireland the smaller battery version will be sub €30k OTR.

Also what was of interest was the fact the range they got almost matched Hyundai's stated range for the car.

Yes they have indeed.

Yes.

The Inster is starting from €19K here?

Feck, I thought it'd be about 25/26K. I'll need to bring it for a test drive and see if I like it, was convinced I'd drive my original Ioniq until it stopped but now I might sell that and trade up.

That's a brilliant price for the Inster. If that is correct, the base Inster is only 500 quid more than the 65 bhp Dacia Spring and the Inster will be a far superior car.

I'm in the market for a EV soon. This seems very well priced, for a brand EV car.

It' not just that it's such a good price (and the difference between the base spec and the top spec is so low), it's that it's a well established EV brand that's got a very good reputation for quality and reliability and puts its money where its mouth is with excellent warranties. Really interested to see where this goes.

I'll be just glad if reduces autobesity that's really dominated in recent years.

We had thought about taking the EV plunge but I'm glad we didn't as something like this is more practical for our needs than most of the recent stuff.

Saw it yesterday at the motor show. It looked grand but I thought the doors felt very light and the rear door handle felt cheap. The sound of closing the door made me think the door panels were as thick as the aluminium on a coke can. Mind you it's great value at sub 20k. They will sell bucket loads.

Would this be better value than a new Leaf?

The Leaf has been around a bit now and while still a fine EV, might be getting a bit 'old'.
