Once again, Kia has surprised everyone by releasing an astonishing-looking model. They've already shown they can design good looking cars with the Kia Soul and the saloon version of the Forte. Now it's the time for the Hatchback version of the Forte to please our eyes, and it manages to do so much better than many of the cars in its class.
In the United States, its main opponent is the VW Golf, and its secondary opponent would be the Saturn Astra. Both of them are good cars, I must admit, but each of them has its own issues. The Golf is a brand-new model, but rather expensive, while the Astra is considerably cheap, but based on a car that came out six years ago. The Forte merges both car's qualities in one, offering a very good looking design along with Kia's accessible price range and 5-year unlimited warranty.People still hesitate in buying a Kia, claiming the brand isn't reliable. However, the items this car offers as standard is better than most of its opponents'. The engines will be the 2.0 and the 2.4 liter ones already available in the Kia range, and the transmissions will be either manual or automatic, both with six gears each.
André's Opinion
This car has to come to Brazil! Most of the current options we have here aren't that great, and the ones that are cost too much! Kia needs to release this car here, because if it comes with prices between the saloon Forte and the Soul, it will be a best-seller in its class.
Note: Kia has not yet released pictures of the interior of the Hatchback Forte, so I took the liberty of taking a picture of the saloon version's interior.
