Hyundai’s adorable Inster has been toughened up with this ‘Cross’ version

It's due to land later this year, and will include bigger bumpers, lots of underbody protection and a new roof rack. Aww

Published: 15 Oct 2024

If, like most, you’re addicted to videos of sassy Labrador puppies fluent in disobedience, we reckon you’ll quite like this: the Hyundai Inster Cross. It’s like a Hyundai Inster but with more sass. And a sunbed up top for cheeky floofs to recharge.

There are thicker front and rear bumpers, reinforced with new skid plates and rocker panels, and a more robust-looking set of 17in alloys. You'll get a choice of up to five two-tone paints too, but nothing replicating the exact colour of a glass of puppuccino. C’mon, Hyundai.

By contrast, the interior gets only one significant change: grey cloth and lime yellow accents - the latter being prominently used across the dashboard. Unchanged bits include a pair of 10.25in screens, a multifunction steering wheel and up to 280 litres of boot space to share between the four occupants.

Likewise, no changes have been made to the mechanicals, so you’ll still get a choice of two single-motor electric powertrains. The first is the entry-level 96bhp with a 42kWh battery good for a claimed 186 miles of range. Alternatively, the Long-Range version bumps these figures up to 113bhp and 221 miles respectively.

More as we get it.
