Compare the Nissan Micra vs Hyundai Inster
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these compact electric cars comes down to whether you prioritise passenger room or driving manners. The Hyundai Inster offers loads of space in the back, and higher-spec models feature sliding rear seats for even more legroom, whereas the Nissan Micra is severely lacking in rear seat space. On the move, both let in some wind noise and tyre roar at higher speeds. However, the Micra brings sharp brakes that give you confidence into bends, while the Inster has an over-sensitive pedal with brakes that can feel a bit snatchy. Every Micra is also more powerful than the Inster.
