AFTER the successful relaunch of its new brand philosophy, Kia Philippines recently inaugurated its Alabang dealership. The opening of the newest branch leads the way to a brighter future under the management of Iconic Dealership Inc. (IDI), a multi-brand automotive dealer group and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AC Motors, an Ayala company. Also, Kia Alabang is the first dealership to champion the brand’s “Movement That Inspires” slogan.
Customers living in the south of Metro Manila will be the first to experience Kia’s brand refresh. The dealership in Muntinlupa City is the first location to showcase the Korean car brand’s new store design and the new corporate logo. The epicenter of Movement That Inspires in the northern gateway to booming Calabarzon is now open to the public.
Bob Palanca, IDI Chief Operating Officer, believes that choosing Kia Alabang as the first dealership to carry the brand’s new identity is the right move. “Kia Alabang is strategically located in one of the most vibrant convergences of the urban and suburban markets in the Calabarzon socioeconomic region where the rapid pace of progress is tempered with slow, deliberate countryside lifestyle. It is the perfect market landscape to highlight Kia’s focus on the customer experience that complements its quality and stylish products.”
Customers visiting the newly-opened Kia Alabang branch will immediately feel the brand’s renewed brand identity through the new spatial design and color scheme. The dedicated customer area emanates warmth and puts customers at ease with its minimalist, wooden interior. Step into the showroom, and it’s an entirely different experience. Achromatic colors and metallic surfaces exude a modern and futuristic vibe that shines the spotlight on the Kia models on display.
This new store identity and customer experience are expressions of the brand’s desire to inspire and transform the lives of Filipinos everywhere, which are significantly in line with the new Kia global movement—Movement That Inspires. Kia Philippines is dedicated to becoming a solid part of this movement. While the new brand identity’s journey begins with Kia Alabang, Kia’s reputation as a provider of quality customer and aftersales services remains consistent in all its dealerships nationwide.
“Kia Alabang is only the beginning of the brand’s reinvention following the launch of Kia’s new brand purpose. Filipinos can expect more dealerships to adapt to the new store identity in the coming years. In addition, our goal is to constantly provide memorable customer experiences as we create various programs that aim to continuously strengthen the knowledge and skills of all our teams to better serve our valued customers,” explained Manny Aligada, Kia Philippines president.
All Kia dealerships are now more than prepared to provide the customer experience that the new Kia aims to deliver. Everyone can enjoy it when shopping for any of the models from Kia’s wide range of vehicles comprising its top 3 best-selling Kia models: the stylish and iconic Stonic subcompact crossover, the hardworking Soluto subcompact sedan, and Kia’s commercial vehicle, the K2500.
Other models are also available to serve various mobility needs: The versatile Seltos, ideal for both the city and the outdoors; the Picanto, compact and just right even for those pursuing big dreams; the Sportage, for faraway adventures; the Grand Carnival for families; the Forte for those who exceed expectations; the sport sedan Stinger, one of the modern pillars of Gran Turismo, and the newly introduced all-new Sorento, the SUV for VIPs.
As part of Kia’s commitment to providing a quality customer experience, its vehicles come with a generous five-year/160,000 km warranty. There is also 24/7 Roadside Assistance which comes free for five years and includes services such as emergency towing, personal assistance, minor onsite repair, medical assistance, information service, and more.
Interested customers may avail any Kia vehicle and its aftersales perks—all while immersed in an inspiring, transformative dealership experience—then be sure to drop by the new Alabang dealership. The 11th dealership under the IDI group—and 4th for the Kia brand—Kia Alabang is located along Alabang-Zapote Road, corner Acacia Avenue, Madrigal Business Park, Muntinlupa City.
