Columbian Autocar Corporation 

Columbian Autocar Corporation (CAC), the exclusive distributor of Kia vehicles in the Philippines, began operations in January 1991. It was in 1996 that Columbian Autocar Corporation was ranked No. 4 spot in the Philippine automobile market. CAC first participated in the Car Development Program of the government and introduced the first “People’s Car”- the Kia Pride, that created favorable reviews in the market.   

Today, it covers 3.0 percent of the country’s total market share – with a total of 3,761 units sold in 2009. CAC has 54 dealerships and sales outlets nationwide. Its wide dealer network assures customers that they and their Kia vehicles will be taken care of wherever they are.   

In June 2009, CAC extended the warranty protection of its Kia vehicles to five years or 160,000 kms. from the usual three years or 110,000 kms., making its auto protection coverage the best and the longest in the auto industry. By standing behind its products for a longer period of time, Kia not only breached the industry standard but also reinforced its claim that its vehicles are as good, if not better, as any available in the market today.  

In its continuous pursuit of excellence, CAC has consistently received the Kia Motor’s Elite Zenith Club distinction for three consecutive years since 2007 thereby establishing itself as Kia’s foremost distributor in the Asia Pacific region. Furthermore, CAC was given worldwide recognition, and was named the 2008 Distributor of the Year for the Asia-Pacific Region.
