Powering the Hyundai Inster Standard Range is a 71kW/147Nm front electric motor and a 42kWh battery pack. It hits 100km/h in 11.7 seconds and is rated at 327km for WLTP range.

Above the Standard Range sits the Extended Range, which uses a slightly larger 49kWh battery for a claimed 360km of range, while its more powerful 84.5kW/147Nm motor allows for a slightly quicker 10.6-second 0-100km/h run. The top-spec Cross uses the Extended Range drivetrain, and with the optional roof basket, its range drops to a claimed 293km. Hyundai claims a 30-minute 10 to 80 per cent fast charging time at up to 85kW and AC charging of up to 10.5kW.
