In recent years, the global trend has shown a strong push toward electric vehicles, with many brands adjusting their production lines. However, some users still value the robustness and availability of combustion engines, especially in areas where charging infrastructure is still limited. From the perspective of an amateur rally enthusiast, what do you think is the ideal balance between electric innovation and the tradition of traditional engines? How does this decision affect the brand's perception in the enthusiast segment? I’d love to hear the community’s opinions and experiences on this dilemma.
Should Kia prioritize electrification over internal combustion engines in its upcoming releases?

My first amateur rally, I drove a Kia Sportage 2.0 diesel and the lack of charging points forced me to refuel every 300 km, while a colleague who tried an EV had to plan his route around charging stations, slowing him down. That experience showed me that, at least for now, sticking with reliable combustion engines and adding hybrid versions is the most practical balance for rally enthusiasts.
