Testing Hyundai's tiny EV over three months

Testing Hyundai’s tiny EV over three months focuses on the Hyundai Inster, which the testers are effectively ending their evaluation of after completing several months of work. The article notes that the team received the Extended Range version after it was involved in a crash shortly after the second month began, finishing the program with that variant as the “paper” choice. While the Standard Range was reported as $3,500 cheaper than the $42,500 Extended Range, the driving experience of the Inster is described as calm and easy to manage against more intrusive competitors from China. Regenerative braking offers four adjustable levels, and the lane-keeping aid can be reduced by holding a steering-wheel button. Cabin packaging is emphasized, including concealed bag hooks and a second-row on rails that can reduce legroom or expand boot capacity. The vehicle also achieved a four-star ANCAP rating, with safety features described as relatively unobtrusive.
