Hyundai announced the Inster EV, a subcompact electric vehicle with over 200 miles of range that sadly will not be sold in the US anytime soon.

Meet the Hyundai Inster, the latest cute, small electric vehicle that is being cruelly denied a North American debut. This subcompact EV has over 200 miles of range, an almost retro-inspired interior aesthetic , and an adorable face that won’t be making an appearance on US roads any time soon. Oh, and did I mention that it will be very affordable? Automotive News is reporting that the Inster will be priced below $26,000.

Like the Honda e before it, it’s a vehicle too tiny for America’s truck-shaped digestive system. The Inster will launch first in Korea this summer, followed by Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. I’m not seeing New Jersey anywhere on that list. Very disappointing. The tiny crossover is taller than a Hyundai Elantra but shorter than a Mitsubishi Mirage. It can get 300km of range on its 42kWh battery, or 355km with its longer range 49kWh battery.
