Kia's recent win at the Good Design Awards 2023, where both its EV9 SUV and 'Ki' infotainment system brought home an award, comes at a time when the Philippines is increasingly turning its attention to electric vehicles (EVs). The EV9's win in the Transportation and Interactive Media categories has made many Filipinos hopeful about the possibility of seeing the EV9 on local roads.
The EV9 secured its award for its smart and modern design in the Transportation category, with its rugged yet refined look. The 'Ki' infotainment system also bagged an award in the Interactive Media category.
What makes this really exciting for the Philippines is how Kia is able to combine technology with things that are less harmful to the environment. The EV9, for example, has a neat design with clean lines and a big, bold front that looks futuristic. The vehicle is also big enough for families, making it an excellent choice for road trips or just getting around town. On the other hand, the 'Ki' infotainment system in the EV9 is known for being easy to use. With a UI configuration optimized for the panoramic display, it makes it easier to understand charging and power usage.
“With the EV9 we aimed to create a fresh design which not only broke new ground, but instinctively communicated the purity, practicality and safety of the vehicle within. This is in keeping with Kia’s overarching design philosophy, which seeks to empower users to make the most of their lives by providing exciting products, innovative in-car spaces, and convenient services that inspire customers and free them to pursue the activities that they enjoy most.”
Kia's recent win has made people in the Philippines "fully charged" and more excited about electric cars. The EV9 could definitely be a popular choice for drivers who care about the environment and want a car that looks good and works well.
Now, there's even more excitement and anticipation for the EV9 to be available on Philippine roads. While waiting for more updates, explore Kia's current lineup and get a quote for your preferred Kia model.
