Meet the 2025 Hyundai Inster: Hyundai’s Most Affordable EV Yet

The 2025 Hyundai Inster has officially arrived in Australia, bringing with it a fresh new face to the small electric vehicle market. Set to launch at Tynan Hyundai Kirrawee, the Inster is Hyundai’s cheapest EV to date — but how does it stack up against its Chinese rivals in terms of value, space, and driving range?

Starting Under $40K — But With Premium Features

The Hyundai Inster will start from $39,000 before on-road costs, positioning it as Hyundai’s most budget-friendly EV. It joins a competitive segment, going head-to-head with models like the BYD Dolphin and MG 4, which offer larger cabins and longer ranges at a slightly lower price.

While the Inster might not be the biggest in its class, it punches above its weight when it comes to features. From dual 10.25-inch screens, LED headlights, and wireless phone charging, to a suite of advanced safety features, Hyundai has packed a lot into this compact city hatch.

Three Trim Levels to Suit Your Style

The Inster comes in three grades:

• Inster Standard Range ($39,000): With a 42kWh battery and 327km of range.
• Inster Extended Range ($42,500): Featuring a 49kWh battery and up to 360km of driving range.
• Inster Cross ($45,000): Rugged styling with off-road bumpers, roof basket or sunroof, leather-trimmed interior, and extra tech.

The Cross variant is ideal for urban explorers, with stylish extras like roof rails, embossed body cladding, and 360-degree cameras for those tight parking spaces.

Tech-Savvy and City Ready

At Tynan Hyundai Kirrawee, we know our customers value practicality and innovation — and the 2025 Inster delivers. Whether you choose the Standard or Extended Range, you’ll get:

How the Inster Compares

While it’s not the most spacious EV, the Inster holds its own against popular competitors like:

• BYD Dolphin (from $29,990 drive-away)
• MG 4 Excite (from $36,990 drive-away)
