Information about the car was posted on Facebook, and the owner is a South Korean who has owned the car for 3 years and five months. It was also reported that after 580,000 kilometers, the battery was replaced (free of charge), although the batteries used in the car have a 10-year warranty.

The owner of the car, whose name was not released, works as a salesman, so he spends most of his time in the car. He drove an average of 16,250 kilometers per month, or 541 kilometers per day.

The Insteroid is a new electric concept from South Korean company Hyundai. It is a wild version of the city car Inster, which can provide more excitement than the standard model.

The concept is equipped with wide wheel arches, a rear wing, a sharp front splitter, a new rear diffuser, intakes on the sills, track-optimized rims, and a sunroof.

The cabin is equipped with bucket seats, a specialized dashboard, a safety cage, and a Beat House sound system.

When it comes to the powertrain, Hyundai has not revealed details. However, considering that it has a Drift Mode, it is believed to be more powerful than the standard model, which is powered by a single electric motor with 117 hp, paired with a 49 kWh battery.

Hyundai has big plans for 2025

South Korean automaker Hyundai has big plans for this year. According to the statement of the Chief Financial Officer of Hyundai Europe Haesung Park, the company intends to double the sales of electric cars in Europe in 2025.

“We will do everything we can to meet the emissions targets,” he said. “To do this, we want to double the sales of electric cars this year,” Park added.

Starting this year, the European Union intends to tighten CO2 regulations, which many manufacturers oppose because non-compliance with these measures can mean large fines that can go up to a billion euros or more. This will force them to increase sales of electric vehicles to avoid potential penalties, which will be very difficult due to cheap Chinese cars.

In 2024, Hyundai sold 68,279 EVs in Europe, which is 15% less than the year before. The best-selling models were the Hyundai Kona (36,526 units), Ioniq 5 (22,830 units) and Ioniq 6 (8,731 units).
