During 2020, the KiSeltos crossover will receive a version with an all-electric power plant. This became known to the IndianAutosBlog portal, which published the presentation slide.

• According to preliminary data, the electric KiSeltos will receive the filling from the Hyundai KonElectric electric crossover. The latter is offered in two versions - with a 136 hp electric motor, a traction battery with a capacity of 39.2 kWh and a power reserve of 300 kilometers, as well as with a 204-horsepower electric motor, a 64 kWh battery and a power reserve of 470 km.
• Production of the electric KiSeltos will begin in August in China. For the local market, it is planned to produce 10,000 copies annually. Whether an electric crossover will appear outside the Middle Kingdom is still unknown.

In Russia, KiSeltos, assembled in Kaliningrad, is equipped with only gasoline engines. These are aspirated 1.6 (121-123 hp depending on the type of drive), 2.0 with 149 hp, as well as a 177-horsepower 1.6 turbo engine. The initial cost of the crossover is 1,129,900 rubles.
