Flashing a new logo, look, and slogan, Kia ushers in a new brand philosophy, new product offers a new Customer Experience and more. The brand is set to lead a transformation through thoughtful design and the elevation of the in-car experience, and aims to provide consumers with what they need so they can drive full speed towards what inspires them.
“Our brand’s purpose is to create spaces that will inspire consumers through our product design. To create more time for consumers so they can focus on what inspires them, and what they aspire for. To create innovative experiences that can influence people and today’s culture,” said Kia Philippines President Manny Aligada.

Fulfilling this brand’s new purpose requires being open to possibilities. In the Philippines, knowledge is what creates these possibilities. Knowledge about different people, cultures, backgrounds, lifestyles, and needs.
Kia is fully committed to fully integrating this knowledge into its new purpose-driven vehicles. And while electric vehicles (EVs) are in the near future, in the meantime, they are introducing an all-new model and an additional Stonic variant—the fourth-generation Kia Sorento and the Kia Stonic Style Edition—as well as a new Customer Experience.
The All-New Kia Sorento
The Sorento is positioned to set the bar high as the epitome of what Kia stands for. Boasting a refined yet bold exterior, the Sorento possesses a sleek and sporty design and the iconic tiger nose grille. The interior is spacious and luxurious. Amenities include leather seats, power seats with driver memory (for the SX variant), front-seat cooling and heating, and more. The ingeniously-designed 7-seater has other practical amenities that take into account the comfort of passengers even in the second and third rows.
The all-new Kia Sorento is powered by a 2.2L Smartstream Diesel and DCT combination which offers enhanced power, efficiency, and more precise shifting (compared to the previous generation) that crystallizes what Kia means by “Movement that Inspires.” Smart just as it is striking, the car’s cutting-edge technology offers advanced safety features including Blind Spot View Monitor, 360 Degree Surround View Camera, Rear Cross, and Forward Collision Assist, and Lane Keep Assist available for the SX variant.
Standard for the Sorento is its 8″ infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, 6-speaker system, and for the SX variant, a 12.3” LCD instrument cluster and wireless mobile phone charger.
As with all Kia vehicles, the Sorento comes with a 5-year or 160,000 kms warranty (whichever comes first). Owners are also entitled to quality after-sales services nationwide and 24/7 Roadside Assistance for a worry-free ownership experience.
The all-new Kia Sorento 4×2 SX 8DCT is priced at Php 2,588,000 and will be available starting the fourth week of November, while the 4×2 EX 8DCT variant is priced at Php 2,398,999 will be on the market by January 2022. An additional Php 10,000 will be charged for pearl colors.
Available colors include Snow White Pearl, Silky Silver, and Aurora Black Pearl.
The Kia Stonic Style Edition
The Stonic, Kia Philippines’ current best-seller, just got even trendier with additional design elements that make it that combine award-winning aesthetics with modern and practical features.
Like the all-new Sorento, the Kia Stonic Style Edition also carries the new logo and features stylish body skirts plus blacked-out wheels. The new variant will feature a unique Style Edition badge and will be available by the fourth week of November.
The Kia Stonic Style Edition 1.4 AT is priced at Php 895,000.
