Hyundai introduces $18,000 electric vehicle in Japan to capture market share

Credited from: REUTERS

  • Hyundai Motor has announced the launch of the Inster, the cheapest compact electric car in Japan, priced at 2.85 million yen ($18,000).
  • The car aims to penetrate a market primarily controlled by Japanese manufacturers, which have previously dominated with petrol and hybrid models.
  • With this launch, Hyundai is utilizing a low-price strategy similar to that of China's BYD, which previously set a higher entry price.
  • The Inster will start deliveries in Japan around May 2025, following its debut in Europe and South Korea.
  • Hyundai aims to increase its sales in Japan tenfold over the next five years, having sold only 607 vehicles last year.
