There had been a rumor that the Forte Koup will have 1.6L Turbo which produces 200bhp, but it turned out to be wrong at this time.. But the production model is almost the same as the concept. I like it. Natural progression ... Kia really lifted their game with the sweetly styled Forte sedan ... this coupe adds another attractive alternative at the more affordable end of the market. No, not out of ideas. This is what the Koreans have been doing for the past 10 years. Mish mash design cues from a bunch of different cars. Remember those weird looking kia sedans with the circle headlights and Jaguar s-type like rears? But I have to say they're getting really good at it. I like this car.. this has aftermarket tuner potential.
Styling details of note include wrap-around headlights, the aggressive air intakes, dual tailpipes and a rear diffuser. Two trim levels on offer are the EX and SX. The EX is the standard Forte Koup and it arrives with features like a 2.0-litre 156hp (115kW) and 144 pound-feet engine with Continuously Variable Valve Timing, a 5-speed manual or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission and 16-inch alloy wheels.
The higher-spec SX has a 2.4-litre straight-four motor with 173hp (127kW) and 168 pound-feet of torque. It returns 22mpg in city driving and 32mpg under highway conditions when mated to the 6-speed manual.
