Transmission choices are likely to include a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed iMT, a 7-speed DCT and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic.
Hyundai Inster EV
The Korean brand will launch an all-new entry-level electric SUV based on the Inster EV on sale in global markets. Likely to be launched in 2026, the new Hyundai Inster EV will be manufactured at the brand's Sriperumbudur factory. Codenamed HE1i, the new electric SUV is likely to have similar dimensions to the Exter micro SUV.
