Hyundai INSTER Cross: an outdoor-focused electric city car

Hyundai Motor has announced the upcoming launch of INSTER Cross, a new variant of the all-new INSTER. This crossover model will be available sometime soon, offering customers the versatility of INSTER while accompanying them on their mini-adventures in the outdoors.

Bold crossover design
The roomy interior and generous luggage capacity of the base version of INSTER already offer customers enhanced manoeuvrability, practicality, and flexibility. INSTER Cross will feature distinct outdoor-focused exterior and interior design elements.

INSTER Cross will come with wide, rectangular front and rear bumpers to highlight its adventurous character, as well as embossed black claddings. The front and rear skid plates, coupled with the side rocker panels and 17” alloy wheels, provide extra protection when driving on rough roads. Roof racks will be standard to transport everything needed for everyday errands, outdoor sports, and camping trips. The crossover variant will be offered in an exclusive exterior colour, Amazonas Green Matte, as well as five colours available for INSTER – some of which are available with a black two-tone roof: Atlas White, Natural Ivory, Aero Silver Matte, Abyss Black Pearl, and Jungle Khaki.

Inside, INSTER Cross will offer a special colour and trim combination: grey cloth with lime-yellow accents. The unique trim will be complemented by lime-yellow accents on the dashboard.

Same as the base model, INSTER Cross will come standard with a range of features more common in cars in higher segments. On top of offering up to 223 miles of all-electric range (subject to whole vehicle Type Approval), the model can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes. INSTER also offers a segment-leading ADAS package, including Highway Driving Assist 1.5, Smart Cruise Control, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 1.5. The interior offers true versatility with all seats being able to be folded flat, walk-through access in the front row, and 50/50 split second-row seats that can slide and recline.

Production of INSTER Cross is set to begin later this year at Hyundai’s manufacturing plant in Korea.
