Kia Philippines Unveils the Future of Mobility with the EV5 at the 2025 EV Summit

• A Glimpse into Kia’s Expanding Electric Lineup and Enhanced Ownership Experience
  

Kia Philippines, a subsidiary of ACMobility, reinforced its dedication to advancing electrified mobility at the 13th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS). The brand took the opportunity to showcase the future of sustainable transportation with the exclusive preview of the all-new Kia EV5 — a bold statement of innovation, design, and environmental responsibility. “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 strengthen its global vision for electrification by developing mobility solutions that are both transformative and purposeful. This strategy reflects the brand’s long-term commitment to pairing innovation with sustainability while ensuring practicality for the Filipino market. The company first demonstrated this through the Kia EV6, followed by the Kia EV9 — a multi-awarded all-electric SUV that redefined luxury, comfort, and performance. Together, these models highlight Kia’s pursuit of progressive mobility centered on people and planet, guided by the brand’s inspiring philosophy, Movement That Inspires.

Making its Philippine debut, the Kia EV5 marks a new chapter in Kia’s expanding electric lineup. Drawing inspiration from the EV9’s confident design language, the EV5 is engineered for young families and modern urban drivers ready to embrace electrification. It is powered by a 217 PS electric motor and an 88.1 kWh battery that delivers up to 550 kilometers of range on a single charge. Featuring vehicle-to-load capability, advanced DriveWise driver-assist technologies, and spacious seating for five, the EV5 ensures convenience, safety, and practicality — all with Kia’s signature design sophistication.

Beyond vehicles, Kia’s electrification journey extends to developing the ecosystem that supports it. Through its collaboration with ACMobility, Kia is accelerating the growth of the country’s charging infrastructure and enhancing EV readiness nationwide. “Kia’s journey toward electrification is a shared one,” Lopez added. “Through strong partnerships, innovation, and customer dedication, we aim to move the Philippines closer to a cleaner and more connected mobility future.”

Visitors to the 13th Philippine EV Summit can experience the Kia EV5 up close at the Kia Philippines booth, open until October 25. Guests can also test drive the award-winning Kia EV6 and the flagship Kia EV9, experiencing firsthand how Kia is redefining electric mobility for the Filipino driver. The Kia EV5 is set for an official Philippine launch in the first quarter of 2026, with pricing and final specifications to be revealed upon release.
