Kia Philippines has officially launched theEV3 compact electric SUVin the local market, giving buyers a new battery-electric option from a mainstream global automaker. The official Philippine model page lists the EV3 at PHP 1,898,000 and provides tools to request a quote or test drive. BusinessMirror reports that reservations opened on September 21 and deliveries are scheduled to begin by October 1. The listing confirms Philippine-market availability at the order and inquiry level, but it does not establish that every dealer already has physical stock.
The local Kia page lists up to511 kilometers of NEDC rangeand approximately 31 minutes for 10-to-80 percent charging on compatible DC fast chargers. BusinessMirror identifies the Philippine vehicle with a 58.3-kWh battery, 201 horsepower, and 283 Newton-meters of torque. Kia also highlights a 30-inch panoramic display, wireless charging, a 25-liter frunk, vehicle-to-load capability, and driver-assistance features. Specifications may vary by market, so the Philippine page should remain the reference for local Philippine EV buyers and owners today.
BusinessMirror says the Philippine launch includes an included wall charger and reports anintroductory priceof PHP 1,868,000 until October 31, subject to the terms and confirmation of Kia Philippines or an authorized dealer for the current Philippine offer. The report also cites five years of free preventive maintenance, a five-year or 160,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, and an eight-year or 160,000-kilometer high-voltage battery warranty. Readers should verify current offers directly before paying a reservation fee because promotions and dealer terms can change.
The EV3’s global profile adds context: Kia’s newsroom says it won the2025 World Car of the Yeartitle, selected by a jury of 96 automotive journalists from 30 countries. Kia’s separate global release cites up to 605 kilometers of WLTP range for an 81.4-kWh version, but that figure should not be merged with the Philippine unit’s 511-kilometer NEDC claim. For local shoppers, the practical takeaway is a confirmed Philippine listing with quote and test-drive channels, not a guarantee of nationwide inventory.
