INSTER Long Range

The Hyundai INSTER Long Range is a 4-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £24,545. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 10.6 seconds, slower than 91% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 186 miles (300 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 18% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 214th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 4.1 mi/kWh (153 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 46 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 70 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 193 miles (311 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £132 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2024 example is estimated at £11,700–£13,100 and a 2025 one at £14,000–£16,000, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 179 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
