KIA Motors has reaffirmed its commitment to revolutionize transportation through the development of futuristic, innovative, and sustainable electric vehicles (EVs).
This is coming even as Kia Middle East and Africa announces the official launch of its all-electric vehicles, the Kia EV9, EV6, and concept EV5 – at the Geneva International Motor Show in Doha, Qatar.
Vice President, Commercial Operations, Kia Middle East and Africa, Yaser Shabsogh, said: “This is a momentous occasion for us as we unveil our latest all-electric vehicles, the Kia EV9 and EV6. At Kia, we align our strategic vision with regional government objectives, tailoring solutions to meet specific requirements and evolving customer needs.
“Kia has experienced tremendous growth in value over the last few months since the relaunch of our brand, and we are placing high expectations on our EV range in taking Kia to new heights. Our unwavering commitment as a Sustainable Mobility Solutions Provider remains steadfast as we consistently deliver innovative solutions.”
Shabsogh added: “Our strategic path is firmly dedicated to fostering a greener future for both our brand and the communities we serve through innovation and sustainability.”
Vice President, Product and Marketing at Kia Middle East and Africa, Ahmed Soudodi, said: “As we embark on this exciting journey into a new era of mobility excellence, we are thrilled to officially launch the Kia EV9 and EV6. Introducing the first dedicated EVs to the region is a remarkable milestone, offering stylish and eco-conscious driving experiences.
He described the EV9 and EV6 as exemplifying sustainable mobility without compromise, delivering an unmatched driving experience.
