Hyundai Inster
Hyundai could be onto something with the brilliant Inster. It's a spacious small car with a big heart.
The Hyundai Inster might be based on a Korean-market crossover of which no-one in Europe has heard (the Casper), but it could be set to seriously shake-up the electric car market in Ireland, arriving with a temptingly low price point, decent range, a roomy cabin (including sliding rear seats so you can make the boot bigger), useful tech and cute styling. We like it a lot.
