Kia Philippines, a subsidiary of ACMobility, reinforces its dedication to progressive, sustainable travel at the 10th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) at the World Trade Center. Embracing the 2026 PIMS theme, “Forward in Every Drive,” Kia presents a diverse, future-ready vehicle roster crafted to meet the evolving lifestyles of Filipino drivers.
“Kia is actively redefining the way Filipinos move by bringing the future of driving within immediate reach. From advanced turbo hybrids, pure electric vehicles, and fuel-efficient fuel-powered crossovers, our latest lineup offers a diverse range of inspiring mobility options that fit perfectly into modern lifestyles,” said Jay Lopez, Managing Director of Kia Philippines.
Leading the Charge: Advanced Turbo Hybrids and All-Electric Innovation
Catering to the growing demand for highly efficient, eco-friendly vehicles, Kia is strategically expanding its turbo hybrid and all-electric lineups for mainstream consumers. The showcase features the Carnival Turbo Hybrid, which delivers “Everyday First Class” mobility by blending luxury MPV utility with a responsive, electrified powertrain. Alongside it is the premium Sorento Turbo Hybrid, a sophisticated 7-seater SUV designed for eco-conscious family journeys.
Sharing the stage are Kia’s latest zero-emission models, including the recently launched Kia EV5. This electric SUV stands out with an impressive 550-kilometer range, smart regenerative braking, a highly spacious cabin, Drive Wise driver assistance, and versatile Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) power capability. Anchoring the display is the Flagship EV9, a global multi-awarded, full-size electric SUV that brings three rows of high-tech luxury to the market.
Complementing these advanced, eco-friendly models is the highly popular Kia Sonet, a top-selling compact crossover ideal for first-time buyers and young professionals. It features bold styling, a tech-smart interior, and a highly fuel-efficient engine. With a budget-friendly price, a nimble footprint for easy driving, and a stress-free warranty, the Sonet delivers exceptional value to a new generation of Filipino drivers.
Previewing the Future: The Kia Sportage, Kia EV3, and Kia PV5
Kia Philippines gave event attendees an exciting first glimpse into the brand’s future with an official preview of the highly anticipated Kia Sportage Turbo Hybrid. Ahead of its launch in July, interested customers can secure exclusive access by signing up on the Kia website or by visiting the Kia booth during PIMS.
Looking further into the brand’s expanding ecosystem, Kia also confirmed that the Kia EV3, the highly anticipated compact electric SUV, and Kia PV5, a revolutionary electric van, are slated for their official Philippine debuts soon. These upcoming arrivals will provide sustainable options for drivers transitioning to zero-emission passenger vehicles or specialized utility platforms.
