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.
