“Electrification is reshaping the way we move, bringing new possibilities to how we drive and live,” said Jay Lopez, Managing Director of Kia Philippines. “For Kia, this year marks the next phase of our evolution, a renewed commitment to innovation that moves people forward through both advanced electric vehicles and ever-efficient fuel-powered models.”
Kia Philippines continues to advance its global vision for electrification by developing transformative mobility solutions that are purposeful and aligned with the evolving needs of Filipino drivers. This direction underscores the brand’s long-term strategy of combining innovation with sustainability while ensuring that progress remains practical and relevant to local conditions.
The company first demonstrated this commitment through the Kia EV6, a model that proved smart mobility can deliver both performance and efficiency. This was followed by the Kia EV9, the brand’s all-electric flagship SUV and a globally multi-awarded car, including the prestigious 2024 World Car of the Year, and over 48 awards for performance, design, and safety. It redefined comfort, technology, and luxury for modern families.
Together, these vehicles illustrate Kia’s focused approach to electrification, one that blends cutting-edge engineering with human-centered design. Guided by its global philosophy, Movement That Inspires, Kia continues to push boundaries by creating mobility solutions that empower people and advance sustainable progress.
The Kia EV5: A New Chapter In Electrified Mobility
Making its Philippine debut, the Kia EV5 represents the next milestone in the brand’s growing EV lineup. Drawing inspiration from the bold styling and design philosophy of the EV9, the EV5 offers a compact yet confident form tailored for young families and city drivers ready to embrace electric mobility.
The Kia EV5 is powered by a 217 PS electric motor with 310 Nm of torque and an 88.1 kWh battery. It delivers an estimated range of up to 550 kilometers on a single charge. It also features vehicle-to-load technology, allowing users to power external devices directly from the vehicle. Inside, the EV5 offers ample space for five passengers, while advanced safety features through Kia’s DriveWise driver assist system and a once-a-year preventive maintenance schedule make ownership convenient, safe, and worry-free.
With the EV5 joining the EV6 and EV9, Kia is building a family of electric vehicles designed to meet diverse lifestyles and driving preferences. Each model reinforces the brand’s belief that sustainable driving can be both exciting and aspirational.
