Europe and many parts of the world have ambitious electrification goals. However, many of them are not achieved because drivers cannot afford an electric vehicle. Prices are still too high and secondary issues such as the charging network have not been resolved. Little by little, however, new electric cars are arriving and promising to revolutionize the market. The Hyundai Inster is poised to become an overwhelming force. This is a high-volume electric car that, for the first time, is showing its price. Korean competition has already started.
For now, it is only available in South Korea.
The Dacia Spring has demonstrated motorists’ interest in electric mobility. Various studies and surveys have shown that many customers are ready to take the plunge, but it is true that today, taking the plunge means giving up something. The Spring does what it does very well, but it cannot be said to be luxurious, comfortable or technologically advanced. In recent months, several competitors have appeared and promise to make life difficult for Spring. The first is the Citroën ë-C3. A car with an attractive price which, like its rival, requires us to give up certain qualities to be able to afford it.
This is not the case with Hyundai. As we have already seen, the interior of the Inster is very complete. The equipment is generous and although the main material is plastic, the perceived feeling of quality is higher than that of its rivals. The Koreans have given it other very good qualities such as a flexible interior with a length-adjustable rear seat, correct measurements for the city and fairly complete electrical performance. Until115 horsepower and up to 355 kilometers of approved range. The range includes two NCM batteries with different capacities of 42 and 49 kWh.
Its rivals, in particular Dacia, are not able to approach this approved range. Hyundai offers 29 kilometers more than Citroën and 130 more than Spring. However, the question mark is price, the main selling point for entering the A segment. The Spring is available from 17,890 euros, before incentives. A really attractive price which is associated with the poorest version with only 45 horsepower. Its use is limited to city driving. Hyundai has already opened the order book for the Inster, but for now only in South Korea. However, we can already get a fairly clear idea of the pricing policy.

The potential impact of Inster on the French market
The arrival of the Hyundai Inster could shake up the electric SUV market in France. With its attractive price and attractive features, it represents a viable option for many consumers looking for eco-friendly vehicles.
Although promising, the Hyundai Inster will have to overcome several challenges, particularly in terms of charging infrastructure and consumer perception. The adoption of this new technology will also depend on the evolution of government policies and incentives for the purchase of electric vehicles.
The Hyundai Inster has the potential to become a major player in the electric SUV market in France. Thanks to its technological innovations and competitive price, it could accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
