Kia Forte
The new Forte lineup is an excellent example of continuous improvement. The family starts with a well-equipped base sedan with a 145-hp four-cylinder. The middle of the range offers a 173-hp engine, the base engine found in the elegant Koup or very practical five-door models. Stealing the show at the top of the range are the SX Koup and five-door models with the turbocharged 201-hp engine. Transmissions are six-speed automatic or manual for all models.
