INSTER Standard Range

The Hyundai INSTER Standard Range is a 4-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £22,995. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 11.7 seconds, slower than 93% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 158 miles (255 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 234th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 4.1 mi/kWh (153 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 39 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 60 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 165 miles (266 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £145 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2024 example is estimated at £10,900–£12,300 and a 2025 one at £13,100–£14,900, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 152 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
