Kia Philippines is Korean brand’s Asia-Pacific Regional Distributor of the Year
Here’s something that Kia Philippines can be really proud of.
The company, under the management of ACMobility, was recognized as the Regional Distributor of the Year for the Asia-Pacific (APAC) Region at the recent 2026 Kia Global Distributors Convention which was held in Australia.
The award counts the brand distributor’s performance across key metrics which includes sales volume, wholesale and retail growth rates, market share growth, and overall dealer capacity.
Out of five global regions: North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific, only one top subsidiary or distributor per region would receive the award. Kia Philippines’ receipt of this award marks the first time the Philippines has received this distinction, positioning it as a leading distributor not only in the region, but also around the world.
Aside from the Philippines, other countries that received the award for other regions were the United States for North America, Peru for South America, Denmark for Europe, and Northern Iraq for the Middle East.
“This award is a strong validation of the hard work and collaboration of our entire Kia Philippines team and our dealer partners. Competing alongside top-performing markets globally and emerging as the Asia-Pacific winner reflects how far we have come as an organization. This achievement motivates us to keep pushing forward and deliver even greater value to our customers,” said Kia Philippines Managing Director Jay Lopez.
In 2025, Kia Philippines ranked as the 11th strongest brand in the local market for sales volume with 7,810 vehicles sold. This equated to a growth of 16.7% compared to the previous year which is among the highest growth numbers in the local automotive industry.
