"Hybrid is a great alternative to a pure electric vehicle (and) it's an easier sell to a lot of customers."
Interest in hybrids is rebounding as consumer demand for pure electrics has not accelerated as quickly as expected.
Sales of pure electrics will claim about 37%, leaving combustion vehicles — including so-called “mild” hybrids — with a nearly 40% share.
In addition to new pure electric models coming soon, "we are very bullish on hybrids going forward," a spokesperson said.
Hyundai and sister brand Kia offer seven hybrid models, with Ford and Lincoln six.
