Kia has come a long way in the past 40 years. Once an upstart carmaker selling affordable economy cars and commuter vans, it has blossomed into a global automotive giant, selling everything from turbocharged sports sedans to electric SUVs.
Kia Philippines, in particular, takes pride in its class-leading turbo-hybrids and electric vehicles, and through the Kia Movement campaign, the Korean brand aims to bring its cars closer to the motoring public—inviting them not just to see the Kia difference, but to experience it as well.
The local lineup begins with the Kia Sonet, a small crossover that’s perfect for newbie drivers. Like a summer’s day, it’s bright and cheery, albeit with better air-conditioning and wallet-friendly fuel efficiency.
The Sorento midsize SUV, meanwhile, is worlds away from affordable Kias like the Sonet and the Seltos, offering premium luxury features, sophisticated driving safety technology, sporty handling, and turbocharged hybrid power. And for the more family-oriented set, the Carnival minivan provides the same feature set in a more spacious and comfortable package, with the option of a traditional turbodiesel powertrain.
For those looking for something more conventional, the Carnival is also available with Kia's legendary 2.2 liter turbodiesel engine, along with incredible conveniences such as powered doors and passenger recliners.
Watch: Here’s what’s in store for visitors at the Kia Movement test drive event
If you want some excitement, the Kia EV6 offers the agility of a sports sedan combined with the utility of a wagon, all wrapped in futuristic sheetmetal. Under the skin lies a sophisticated and powerful electric drivetrain.
And then there’s the Kia EV9—the 2024 World Car of the Year. Kia’s flexible E-GMP electric platform gives it the interior space and comfort of an MPV, the style and utility of an SUV, and the power and agility of a premium sports sedan. It is the brand’s flagship in more ways than one, boasting an astounding sub-5sec 0-100kph time and over 500km of range on a single charge.
At the Kia Movement Test Drive Event, running from May 8 to 11, 2025, Kia Philippines is offering free test drives and fantastic deals on all of these cars, with low down payments, discounts of up to P80,000, and zero-interest payment plans of up to five years on select models. And for those eyeing the EV6, you can avail yourself of savings totaling up to P700,000 if you order one at the event.
These deals are so good, you could say they’re electrifying. For more information, visit Kia’s official website and drop by the Auto Focus Test Drive Festival, happening at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.
