Hyundai has announced that the Inster Cross, a new variant of the Inster – a small, electric SUV already announced to be heading Australia’s way soon – will be available in the first quarter of 2025.
The Inster Cross will feature more outdoor-focused exterior and interior design elements, and will come with wide, rectangular front and rear bumpers as well as embossed black claddings. The front and rear skid plates, coupled with the side rocker panels with complimentary 17-inch alloy wheels, provide extra protection when driving over rough roads. Roof racks will be standard with the option to add a roof basket.
The crossover variant will be offered in an exclusive exterior colour – Amazonas Green Matte – as well as the five colours available for the Inster.
Inside, the Inster Cross will offer a special colour and trim combination: grey cloth with lime-yellow accents, and lime-yellow accents on the dashboard.
Hyundai announced a few months ago that the Inster would be available with either a 42kWh or 49kWh Long Range battery set-up and will offer a projected range of 355km (WLTP) on a single charge for the Long Range variant. Both models are powered by a single motor delivering 71.1kW in the base variant and 84.5kW in the Long-Range. Both versions deliver 147Nm of torque.
When using a 120kW DC charging station, Inster can charge from 10 to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes. It comes equipped with an 11kW onboard charger as standard. Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality is available.
The Inster also offers an ADAS package that includes Highway Driving Assist 1.5, Smart Cruise Control, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 1.5. All seats in the Inster can be folded flat, and there is walk-through access in the front row, and 50/50 split second-row seats that can slide and recline.
