Hyundai Inster Pricing Soars as Electric Vehicle Demand Skyrockets in 2026

2026 Hyundai Inster pricing hiked amid EV sales surge

Hyundai has increased prices for its smallest and most affordable electric vehicle (EV), following a surge in demand across its EV range.

The pint-size four-seat Hyundai Inster electric hatch – officially classed as a light SUV – was launched in Australia in April 2025 with a starting price of $39,000 plus on-road costs, before the entry-level 42kWh Standard Range version was offered from $39,990 drive-away and then $35,990 drive-away, the latter marking a $6125 saving for Victorian buyers.

Since then, several newly released EV rivals have undercut that price, including the BYD Atto 1 light hatch (from $23,990 before on-roads) and the BYD Atto 2 small SUV (from $31,990 plus ORCs).

Now, according to a bulletin to Victorian dealers obtained by CarExpert, Hyundai has upped the base drive-away price of the Inster by $3000, to $38,990 drive-away, marking a more modest $3046 bonus for customers in the southern state.
