PIMS 2012: Kia to display K9 luxury sedan and face-lifted Sorento

Kia K9

TopGear.com.ph has received a tip that Columbian Autocar Corporation, the official distributor of Kia vehicles in the country, will have three main attractions at its display booth in this month's Philippine International Motor Show.

For the fourth staging of the biennial event, Kia is reportedly showing off the K9 luxury sedan (called Quoris outside South Korea), the Optima midsize sedan, and the face-lifted Sorento midsize SUV. Taking center stage, of course, is the K9, which, according to our source, isn't being considered--at least for now--by CAC for distribution here because "it is too expensive."

But if there will be enough serious inquiries at the show, who knows?

The 4th PIMS will be held on August 16 to 19, 2012, at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

      I think wala pa kasing global launching ng Kia Forte? But I agree they've should included it.

      The All New Kia Forter will be first shown at the Paris Motor Show on September, so expected na di pa siya ipapakita dito. :)

    Malamang di ibenta ng Kia Philippines yang K9 dahil halos 3 Million Pesos din ang presyo nyan,hirap nga silang magbenta ng Mohave eh.

    May posibilidad na bumenta rin ang K9/Quoris dito. Yung Cadenza nga na display nung 2010 PIMS, may bumiling mayor na taga-North Luzon eh.

    I like the current sorento. Yung ganyang facelift, I think mas striking sya sa Forte. not for this SUV.
