Introducing the new Hyundai INSTER
A small electric SUV that's built for real life in the UK, the new Hyundai INSTER keeps things simple: easy to place on the road, easy to park, and easy to run day to day. Choose the Long Range version and you can drive up to 229 miles (WLTP) between charges, which takes a lot of stress out of the weekly routine.
When you do need to top up, the INSTER's fast charging means a quick stop can genuinely be a quick stop � ideal for busy days when you can't hang around. It's a smart fit for drivers who want the benefits of electric motoring without committing to a big, bulky car.
If you'd like to see how it feels from the driver's seat, you can book a test drive with Vertu and try the INSTER on the roads you use most.

New Hyundai INSTER FAQs
Is the new Hyundai INSTER easy to park in tight spaces?
Yes. The INSTER's compact size suits narrow streets and busy car parks, and features like rear parking sensors and a reversing camera (where fitted) make it easier to judge kerbs and low obstacles when you're manoeuvring.
What warranty cover should I expect on a new Hyundai INSTER?
Hyundai's UK cover is known for being reassuringly generous: a five-year, unlimited mileage vehicle warranty, plus an eight-year or 100,000-mile warranty on the high-voltage battery (terms apply). We'll confirm the exact wording and coverage for the INSTER version you choose when you order.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new Hyundai INSTER?
If you like predictable costs, a fixed plan can be the calmer option, because you know what you're paying for in advance. If your mileage varies year to year, a flexible plan can suit you better. Either way, keeping to the recommended schedule protects long-term value, and you can book support through Hyundai servicing with Vertu.
Which new Hyundai INSTER trim should I choose?
Go for INSTER 01 if you want an electric car that covers the essentials cleanly. Step up to INSTER 02 if you like extra daily convenience, wireless charging is a great example because it keeps your phone ready for navigation without thinking about it. Choose INSTER Cross if you want a more rugged look and more driver-assistance tech depending on spec.
What insurance group is the new Hyundai INSTER in?
Insurance groups can vary by battery version, trim, and insurer, and they are not always consistently published early in a model's lifecycle. The simplest approach is to pick the INSTER version you want, then run a quote with that exact specification, our team can help you with the details you need.
Are the tech features of the new Hyundai INSTER easy to use?
Yes, the layout is designed to be straightforward. The 10.25-inch digital cluster keeps key driving info in one place, and wireless charging (on selected trims) removes a small daily annoyance: remembering cables and plugging in on every trip.
