# Hyundai’s most affordable EV gets a ‘luxury’ upgrade — Here’s our first look at it [Video]

Hyundai launched the Casper Electric Lounge as the top-tier trim, featuring a “luxurious interior” and a new style. The Casper Electric is Hyundai’s most affordable electric vehicle, sold overseas as the Inster EV.

## Hyundai Casper Electric Lounge adds luxury to the mix

The Casper Electric starts at just 27.87 million won (about $18,500) in Korea, making it Hyundai’s entry-level electric car.

After launching the rugged, off-road-focused Cross variant last year, Hyundai introduced a new range-topping trim on Wednesday that adds a bit of luxury to the lineup.

Unlike the Cross, the new Casper Electric Lounge has a more premium feel inside and out. The new model features a trim-exclusive bumper design and side profile with 17″ wheels, metallic cladding, side molding, and an added roof rack that comes standard.
