Kia PH showcases electrified lineup at Auto Focus Test Drive Festival with Australian Open Trip

Kia Philippines, a subsidiary of ACMobility, is rolling out its all-electrified lineup at the Auto Focus Multi-Brand Pre-Christmas Test Drive Festival from November 12 to 15, 2026, at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. The four-day outdoor event provides car buyers, enthusiasts, and prospective EV adopters an open testing ground to evaluate Kia’s latest hybrid powertrains and dedicated battery-electric vehicles back-to-back.

“This electrified showcase represents a defining milestone that demonstrates what Kia is now, embodying our philosophy of Movement that Inspires throughout our global and local electrification journey,” said Jay Lopez, Managing Director of Kia Philippines. “Auto Focus gives drivers the ideal real-world venue to test our latest Kia portfolio firsthand,”

Full Lineup on the Test Track

Festival attendees can get behind the wheel, consult with on-site product specialists, and assess the dynamic performance, cabin refinement, and technology across Kia’s vehicle range. Leading off the internal combustion offerings is the highly efficient, gasoline-powered Kia Sonet, delivering spirited performance and everyday practicality. Alongside it, Kia’s test-drive roster highlights responsive, turbocharged hybrid engineering front and center, giving drivers direct seat time in the Carnival Turbo Hybrid, Sorento Turbo Hybrid, and the Sportage Turbo Hybrid. Complementing the turbo hybrid lineup is Kia’s award-winning fully-electric portfolio, with the dynamic and practical EV5, the flagship EV9, and now joined by the Kia EV3, named the 2025 World Car of the Year and recently recognized as EV of the Year by Top Gear Philippines; and the recently launched, purpose-built Kia PV5 Cargo, named the 2026 International Van of the Year.
