There’s something fun happening over at Hyundai, and it’s not your typical concept car story. Their new creation, the INSTEROID, is what happens when gaming culture, futuristic design, and electric vehicle thinking all come together.

You might not have ever heard of the Hyundai Inster; after all, it's a cute city EV that's sold in Europe and Asia, but not in the United States. That said, we think you'll want to hear about its new performance-oriented concept car sibling.

Hyundai has unveiled teaser images of its new concept car, the INSTEROID — a futuristic, gaming-inspired take on the brand’s popular INSTER electric vehicle. Slated for a full reveal in April 2025, the one-off design fantasy fuses pixel-perfect aesthetics with real-world performance cues.
