Hyundai Reveals the Cute INSTER Cross for Early 2025

Hyundai has announced the upcoming launch of the INSTER Cross, a crossover version of their new INSTER, arriving in Australia in early 2025. The INSTER Cross is designed for those who want a versatile vehicle capable of handling urban life with a bit of extra grit for weekend getaways.

Rugged Styling with Practicality in Mind

The INSTER Cross features a more rugged design compared to the standard INSTER, with wide, rectangular bumpers and black cladding giving it a tougher appearance. Front and rear skid plates, along with 17-inch alloy wheels, suggest it’s ready for some light off-road use, though it’s likely better suited for gravel roads and car parks at trailheads than serious off-roading.

Roof racks come as standard, and you can add a roof basket if you need extra room for your gear. There’s a unique Amazonas Green Matte paint option for those who want something a bit different, alongside other choices like Atlas White and Tomboy Khaki, with some colours available in a two-tone scheme with a black roof.

A Practical Interior with a Splash of Colour

Inside, the INSTER Cross adds some personality with grey cloth seats and lime-yellow accents throughout the cabin. While not everyone will love the bold colour choice, it does break up the usual grey-on-grey that dominates most car interiors.

Practicality is at the core of the design. There’s walk-through access in the front row and the second row slides, reclines, and folds flat to give you more room for cargo. Whether it’s camping gear or a run to the hardware store, the INSTER Cross is set up to handle a range of everyday needs.

EV Range and Features

Like the standard INSTER, the Cross is fully electric, offering a range of up to 360 kilometres. Charging is fairly quick, with the battery going from 10 to 80 per cent in about 30 minutes—perfect for quick stops on longer trips.

The tech package includes features like Highway Driving Assist 1.5, Smart Cruise Control, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. These driver aids are typically found in more expensive models, making the INSTER Cross a well-equipped option in its segment.

Designed for Light Adventure, Not Heavy Off-Roading

While the INSTER Cross comes with some rugged touches, it’s not built for heavy-duty off-road adventures. Its design is more about everyday versatility with a bit of an outdoorsy aesthetic. It’s likely to appeal to those who need a practical car for city life but also want something that can handle a bit of rougher terrain for weekend trips.

Production is expected to begin later this year in Korea, with the INSTER Cross arriving in Australia in the first quarter of 2025. For those looking for a small EV with a bit of extra personality and practicality, this new addition to Hyundai’s lineup could be a good fit.
