Kia Motors' strategic decision to introduce a hybrid version of Seltos SUV signals a shift in focus for the Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis group, which had been aggressively pushing electric vehicles (EVs) but is now expanding its hybrid model range due to a slowdown in EV sales. The upcoming Seltos hybrid, slated for the "third generation" model, is likely to adopt the 1.6-liter hybrid powertrain from the Kia Niro and Hyundai Kona Hybrid.
