2025 Hyundai Inster review: the $40k city SUV challenge to the MG4, GWM Ora and BYD Dolphin

EV Central

Finally – belatedly – we have one of Australia’s top five car brands delivering a budget small EV. Regrettably, we had to keep ugly camouflage on the car as it hadn’t yet been publicly revealed. The Inster’s an unashamed city car, and behaves like one. It’s about bloody time.
