Hyundai has confirmed pricing for the Inster, a budget-friendly model that will sit alongside the Citroen e-C3 and Dacia Spring.

It is the brand's smallest and cheapest electric car to date. Prices start at £23,495.

Two powertrain options are offered. The base car has a 42kWh battery and a 95PS motor, providing a 203-mile range.

A Long Range variant, with a 49kWh battery and a more powerful 115PS motor, promises a 229-mile range.

Both versions support DC fast charging up to 120kW, enabling a 30-minute top up from 10%-80%.

The Inster is said to have a spacious interior, despite its compact dimensions. The front row seating provides walk-through access. All seats can be folded flat – including the driver’s seat – for increased flexibility.

It features a 10.25-inch digital cluster, a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation and a wireless charging dock that forms part of a compact centre console.

The Inster 01 features 15-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors with rear view camera and dynamic parking control, smart cruise control with stop/go, automatic headlights, smart key with keyless entry and start/stop button.

The Inster 02 adds 17-inch alloy wheels, front parking sensors, LED projection headlamps and LED rear lights, privacy glass and roof rails. Interior enhancements include LED multifunction steering wheel lights, ambient lighting with a choice of 64 colours, fold flat front seats and sliding rear bench. The 02 also includes heated front seats, heated steering wheel, automatically dimming rear view mirror and wireless charging pad.
