Car changing is a big deal
This compact and cute electric hatchback is available for under £17,000 through Á«»¨Ö±²¥. Here’s why it’s worth a look.
This electric car is like a dachshund – it may be small, but it’s got a big personality. The Hyundai Inster is certainly a car worthy of being in your shopping cart. And what’s more, it could be yours from less than £17,000 when you buy through Á«»¨Ö±²¥.
Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Á«»¨Ö±²¥. And you can also sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.
Why should you consider a Hyundai Inster?
The Hyundai Inster is a compact electric hatchback with SUV-inspired styling. Its playful, boxy design and pixel-style LED lights give it plenty of character, earning it a Highly Commended award in the 2025 Á«»¨Ö±²¥ Car of the Year Awards.
Inside, it punches above its weight with twin 10.3-inch digital displays, physical buttons, and a smart open-floor layout. Mid-spec cars get sliding rear seats for added versatility, offering either generous legroom or extra boot space, while folding the seats flat creates a bed-sized area for in-car camping. Though, you will come across some cheap plastics within the cabin.
Practical touches include a 238-351 litre boot and solid cabin quality with ambient lighting options. Two batteries are available: a 42kWh version with 203 miles of range and a 49kWh model offering 229 miles and a stronger 115hp motor.
Save over £6,600 on a Hyundai Inster*
The Hyundai Inster usually starts at £23,505, but you can get it through Á«»¨Ö±²¥ from £16,848. This biggest saving is on the 01 model, with £6,658 off at the time of writing. This gives you 203 miles of range, a heat pump and battery heater, twin 10.25-inch screens, climate control, adaptive cruise control and a reversing camera.
Alternatives to the Hyundai Inster
Still not convinced? Here are three alternatives to consider instead:
- Renault 5 E-Tech: A heat pump comes as standard but rear storage is particularly limited.
- Dacia Spring: One of the cheapest electric cars you can buy but it has limited range and slow charging.
- Citroen e-C3: Rather comfortable but it has a sub-200 mile range.
