Inster EV Standard
The Standard is the expected entry point, using a 42 kWh battery with 327 km of WLTP range. In Indian real-world driving, that could mean roughly 240 to 270 km, which suits daily city commuting. It gets a 95 bhp motor, twin 10.25-inch screens and SmartSense ADAS. However, it skips V2L and 17-inch wheels.
Inster EV Long Range
The Long Range upgrades to a 49 kWh battery, adding about 42 km of WLTP range. It also gets a stronger 115 bhp motor and a higher 150 km/h top speed. In addition, it adds 17-inch alloy wheels and V2L, letting you power devices from the battery. As a result, it could offer the best balance for most buyers.
Inster EV Cross
The top Cross shares the Long Range’s 49 kWh battery and 115 bhp motor. However, it adds rugged styling with roof rails, Cross-specific bumpers and a skid plate. It also offers exclusive matte colours like Amazonas Green and Aero Silver. Its range dips slightly to 360 km due to the extra styling parts.
Hyundai Inster EV Variants: Which to Buy
For most buyers, the Long Range could offer the best value, adding more range, power and V2L for about Rs 1.5 lakh over the Standard. However, the Standard suits city-only drivers on a tight budget. Meanwhile, the Cross is for those who want a sportier, SUV-like look. For price updates, see the Hyundai Inster EV price page.
Hyundai Inster EV Variants Colours
The Standard and Long Range are expected in Buttercream Yellow, Atlas White, Jungle Khaki, Sienna Orange, Natural Ivory and Abyss Black. The Cross adds matte Amazonas Green and Aero Silver options.
