Hyundai has been working on an all-electric version of its small SUV offering, the Casper, for the international markets. Now, spy shots of what is said to be a production-ready version of the upcoming Hyundai Casper EV have leaked online. According to reports, the production-ready Casper EV was spied undergoing tests in South Korea.



While the small electric SUV was covered in camouflage, a few design details of the upcoming model could be seen. These include the new full-LED headlights and the pixel-style taillights at the rear. Reports also suggest that the Casper EV will have a slightly longer wheelbase (25 cm extra), improving legroom at the rear. The increased wheelbase is to allow for a larger battery pack, which is said to offer the Casper EV a range of 320 km on a single charge.



The Hyundai Casper EV is based on the brand's 'K1 platform', which also underpins other small cars in its lineup. This includes the Grand i10, Exter and even the ICE version of the Casper.

Powertrain details of the Casper EV are yet to be revealed.

Interesting. We have the Inster and the Exter. I wonder if there will be any markets where they'll co-exist.

Hyundai's INSTER revealed. ( the EV version of CASPER)

Introducing the new INSTER, the latest member of the Hyundai electric vehicle family in Europe. Compact and versatile, this dynamic small electric car is setting new standards in driving range and features in its segment – redefining what you can expect from a EV in this class.

Equipped with top of the range EV features as standard, the new INSTER delivers an all-electric driving range of 355 km – according to the WLTP standard.

In particular, Casper Electric has differentiated marketability by showing its presence on the road based on its 230mm longer length and 15mm wider width than the existing Casper, and at the same time securing innovatively improved space utilization, habitability, and driving stability.

The first eye-catching turn signal lamp is the pixel graphics that show the iconic design of the electric vehicle, and the face-emitting circular DRL (daytime running light) completes the futuristic impression.

The front grille features a circuitboard-style black grille reminiscent of a circuit board, which embraces the headlamps, charging doors, and front camera, emphasizing the image of Casper Electric created with cutting-edge technology.


On the side, the pixel-shaped wheel design blends harmoniously into the voluminous fender design and the sturdy body, and the unique robotic badge engraved on the rear door handle draws attention.


In particular, the wheelbase, which has been increased by 180mm compared to the previous model, has improved high-speed driving stability and increased the legroom space in the second row, and the length of the trunk section has been increased by 100mm, increasing the cargo space by 47L compared to the existing 233L. (* VDA standard)

At the rear, the rear lamps with pixel design emphasize the sense of unity with the front, and the simple yet bold surface treatment completes the futuristic image of Casper Electric.

Powering the Inster is a choice of 42kWh Standard and 49kWh 'Long Range' battery packs, rated to deliver 300km-plus, and 355km of driving range respectively based on European WLTP lab testing.

Hyundai claims both batteries can be recharged from 10 to 80 per cent in 30 minutes at up to 120kW DC, while the 11kW AC onboard charger can fill the batteries in four hours, or four hours and 35 minutes respectively on a home 'wall box' charger.

Both models use nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) batteries, rather than the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry chosen for BYD and many Tesla electric cars.

Driving performance is set to be modest, with a front-mounted electric motor developing 71kW/147Nm in the Standard, and 85kW/147Nm in the Long Range.

Zero to 100km/h acceleration times of 11.7 and 10.6 seconds are claimed for the Standard and Long Range respectively, similar to the likes of the Toyota Yaris and Suzuki Swift, with top speeds of 140km/h and 150km/h.

In Europe, a heat pump will be available – reusing excess battery heat to warm the cabin – along with external and internal vehicle-to-load plugs, which allow the car's battery to power electrical devices from computers to e-scooters.

Compared to the Casper, the Inster – which will be sold as the Casper Electric in South Korea – is 230mm longer overall, 180mm longer between the front and rear wheels, and 15mm wider.

Hyundai Inster is a 355 km e EV city car priced from £22,000.( ~26k euro)

Firm aims to broaden appeal of electric cars with flexible new four-seater.

Although those specifications place the Inster roughly on a par with its class mates, Hyundai believes that it will stand out for its interior connectivity and on-board technologies. Inside, all versions get a pair of 10.25in displays (an instrument panel and an infotainment touchscreen), and you can use your smartphone as a ‘key’ to unlock and start the car.

The Inster also gets Hyundai’s full suite of driver assistance technologies, including a 360deg parking camera and adaptive cruise control. Additionally, it receives the brand’s novel blindspot monitoring system, which projects a camera image of your rear quarter view onto the instrument panel as you indicate.

I like it! Looks adorable. The interior space is quite reasonable for a small footprint car such as this.
