Looks that demand a second glance

Hyundai's baby 'ghosts' into hunt for EV sales, writes Rob Auchterlonie

If you're chucking your cap in the ring to join in the fight for electric car sales, it's a good idea to have something that's going to stand out in a crowd of sheep.

Something that's a definite deviation from the norm, something that makes people stop and look, and something that is a refreshing change.

Something like the Hyundai Inster here. After all, what's the point of producing a car that bears a startling resemblance to every other small car on the road.

In that respect, Hyundai have hit the sales race running with Inster. It's got looks that demand a second glance, an external face that makes you wonder what the designers might have been mainlining during the initial sketches, and on-the-road presence that belies its compact dimensions.
