My Aunt is looking for a small EV, and they don't sell small cars at all in Australia any more. This is an option and she currently drives an i20. Her main issue with this is that she doesn't like the boxy faux SUV look of the car and would prefer the classic small car look. Since she lives alone she is massively over producing solar power and being able to use that to travel over going to the grid would be a boon. Its between this and if the BYD Seagull comes to Australia.
Sounds like a great city EV but it needs to be priced at around $35,000 drive away. There are many deals now at that price. The Inster will be a hard sell at above $40,000 as it’s up against bigger more powerful and better equipped Chinese cars at the price point. Looks like this could be a cult car at the right price.
Yeah!... It seems they're coming with this for Europe. No way! Ugly as hell!... KIA/Hyundai still have perhaps the best EV cars on the market right now, but this one I have serious doubts on its success. Better then to make something from the Kona downward to a more simple thing and then cheaper than to invest millions on what for certain markets will resemble such a car from the Soviet era! On a more positive note: Range and the inside are great for the segment at this time and age. It might to sell well on certain markets like my own Portugal where or in Brazil where price is the main selling driver. Not so much on western Europe where the memories of the Soviet era are still very present...
Looks good but I worry about poor Hyundai rust proofing, only one year then body must be inspected every two years to keep renewing it. Toyota, VW, Skoda etc guarantee for twelve years with no inspections.
Where does Hyundai publish this information? I don't believe you're correct. This is what Hyundai say: "Hyundai offers a 12-year anti-perforation warranty that protects new Hyundai vehicles' body sheet metal panels from corrosion and rust holes caused by workmanship defects and normal use, regardless of mileage"
All manufacturers advertise 6,8,12 years anti corrosion warranties. When you check the service warranty book in the UK it then has the terms and conditions, Hyundai lacking confidence in rust proofing stipulate inspections within 30 days of 1.3,5,7,9,11 years from first registration. It’s a con because for the tiniest stone chip the dealer can insist unless you have the panel resprayed the warranty is invalidated. From memory currently only Toyota, Lexus, VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Cupra are the only brands who actually have a proper 12 year anti corrosion warranty requiring no mandatory inspections. Fiat, Alfa Romeo used to be similar but now part of Stellantis only guarantee for two years, then every two years a mandatory inspection for the 8 year anti corrosion warranty.
@@Victor-rv7fx Remember, this RUclips channel is Australian and talks about cars supplied to Australia. Almost all Hyundai and Kia models are sourced from South Korea for Australia, not Europe. In Australia, they have very strict rules with regards to cars and buyers are protected under Australian Consumer Law. Rust has never been an issue with Kia and Hyundai cars in Australia; I've not heard of any problems over the last 10 years.
So these are going to sink in resale value just like the Mazda MX-30 electrics. EV without a base range of at least 500km WLTP (450 real world) are just not viable once battery SOH drops below 80%
@@JimDee999 It's come and gone, complete failure. Released in 2021, EV technology has moved a long way since then. There are a few used examples for sale online, nobody is buying them. Mazda Australia currently do not sell any EV's.
The fact that it has actual physical buttons on the dash makes it a winner. I hope more car manufacturers do the same.

Small low powered BEVs makes perfect sense. It will be likely be cheaper to buy and would hit the pricing sweet spot
Big ,small batteries , power both required for different people, needs... Just like ice.
A potentially perfect little car for the UK. Get a move on, Hyundai.
It’s coming to the UK in Jan 2025 priced at around £25,000
Does it use blade / prismatic batteries?
No, it's NCMA by LG Energy Solutions.
Was that in-car audio from the DJI mic? If so that car is NOISY inside.
awesome car, single man's dream haha
It’s a great gong for the cutting edge product like this. It’s never gonna cork up when it comes to mileage.I will call my family about this.
Did you tell us the likely price range in Australia ??
Most likely start at $35k.
How much does this vehicle weigh?!
1250 kg.

In my opinion, the BYD Seagull will come to Australia in 2025; most likely by June.

Ignis ev😂
한국 가격은 2990만원으로, 달라로 하면 약 $23.000 정도 합니다. 호주에서는 조금 더 비쌀 것으로 예상해 봅니다.
Will start at AU $35,000 in Australia in my opinion, hopefully will launch in Q1 of 2025.
Looks like a Kia Soul 😂
it is a Suzuki Ignis, copy paste
I hope so - chose an Ignis for my Late mum. It’s a joy to drive around town. EV version of Ignis would be perfect replacement for my Volt.
Want in India with a small powerful 800cc turbo diesel engine
30k++ thats too expensive for that size
But the Fiat 500e has a price of $50k?
@@Richard-sl8we and its a niche seller - yet to see one in the wild
If it doesn't start with a $2x,xxx I'd rather get a Golf
Good luck finding a new Golf for “$2X,XXX
You obviously have no understanding of the car market in Australia.
Very ugly car...
Pretty cool looking car for sure
@@weeego7100 Yes, a girly car for sure. 😉
