The Inster boasts a spacious interior that may surprise you at first glance. With its concave roof design, there is ample headroom for adults both in the front and rear seats. The legroom in the back is so generous that it almost feels like you’re in a limousine. However, the narrow width of the car may not be ideal for taller or broad-shouldered passengers sitting up front.
While the seat bases are shallow and the backrests lack lumbar support, the fixed armrest provides some comfort. Additionally, the cupholders underneath are convenient for holding drinks during your drive. The boot capacity is limited to 280 litres due to the generous passenger space, but you can slide the rear seats forward independently to create more storage space. You even have the option to fold down the front seats to accommodate longer items or take a quick nap.
The 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system is user-friendly, although not as intuitive as the Google-based system in the 5. It may be a bit slow to respond to inputs, and disappointingly, the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features are not wireless. On a positive note, the digital dash is visually appealing and customizable. Despite the trend of touchscreen-dominated cars, the Inster offers a cluster of large, tactile physical buttons that are easy to navigate while driving.
The interior of the Inster may feel a bit plasticky in certain areas, but there is a sense of durability that complements the car’s overall vibe. The cloth-like material on various touchpoints adds a touch of luxury to the cabin. It is evident that the interior was designed specifically for the Inster, rather than being a mere replica of the Ioniq EV’s interior.
In conclusion, the Inster’s interior is well-thought-out and tailored to enhance the driving experience. Its spaciousness, user-friendly technology, and durable construction make it a practical and comfortable choice for daily commutes or road trips.
