Hyundai Inster review

The choice is simple: the 01 trim comes with the 97bhp/42kWh setup for £23,495. Add £1,550 for the 115bhp/49kWh drivetrain. Then add £1,700 for the 02 trim.

That 02 trim brings 17- instead of puny 15-inch wheels, the sliding back seats, LED headlamps, roof rails, heated front seats and steering wheel, ambient lighting, more speakers and a mains power socket. Listed like that, the extra price of 02 seems worthwhile.

Still, all versions get all the safety and driver assist, navigation and phone mirroring.

Hyundai's launch PCP offer has a £500 dealer contribution, so £249 per month over four years for the base model and £295 for the 02. That's with a £4,000 deposit, with an optional balloon payment of around £10k afterward.

Tell me about range and charging.

The WLTP range figures are 203 miles and 229 miles respectively for the smaller and bigger batteries in 01 spec. The 02 spec, with its bigger wheels, costs six miles WLTP. Expect these numbers to fall on motorways of course. But every Inster has a heat pump and battery heater, so you can pre-warm the battery when plugged in, so winter range shouldn't be too far below summer.

Charge power is a little low, peaking at 73kW for the smaller battery and 85kW for the bigger one. That means half an hour 10-80 percent, which sounds fine except that half-hour won't add ever so much distance. With the 01 spec, you'd be back to 10 percent in little over 100 motorway miles.

Warranty is five years/unlimited miles, with eight years/100,000 on the EV battery.
