Kia PH to bring in 3 electrified models starting Q3 2026

MANILA: Kia Philippines leadership announced that three more electrified models will be introduced this year.

During the company’s presentation at the ongoing 10th Philippine International Motor Show, Kia Philippines Managing Director Jose Marie Lopez announced that the Sportage Turbo Hybrid, EV3, and PV5 will arrive in the country starting next month. 

Per Lopez, the series of launches will be spearheaded by the Sportage Turbo Hybrid in July, followed by the EV3 and PV5 locally later this year.

This development aligns with Lopez’s earlier promise of “evolving the brand’s current lineup and advancing its electrification efforts.”

At its booth, the ACMobility subsidiary highlighted its diverse electrified vehicle lineup.

“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,” Lopez said.

Taking the center stage is the Kia EV5, which boasts a 550-kilometer range, regenerative braking, a spacious cabin, Drive Wise driver assistance, and vehicle-to-load charging capability. Also seen in its booth is the full-size, all electric EV9 that offers three rows of high-tech luxury to the market. 

Sharing the limelight are the Turbo Hybrid versions of the Kia Carnival and Sorento. The luxury multi-purpose vehicle offers first class mobility while the seven-seater sport utility vehicle is designed for eco-conscious family journeys.

Rounding up the vehicle displays is Kia’s best-selling model in the country, the Sonet. Ideal for first-time buyers and young professionals, this internal combustion engine-powered model comes with a bold styling, a tech-smart interior, nimble footprint, and accessible price tag.

Lastly, Kia Philippines is also providing PIMS-exclusive price cuts—with up to P110,000 off the Sonet, P450,000 off for the Carnival SX Diesel, and P220,000-reduction for the Sorento Turbo Hybrid.

“Kia's showcase this year is about offering mobility that moves with you. Whether it is transitioning fully to electric with the EV5 and EV9, embracing the seamless efficiency of our Carnival and Sorento Turbo Hybrids, or enjoying the smart, spirited drive of the Sonet, we are making forward-thinking mobility closer and more rewarding for every Filipino,” Lopez ended.
