2011 Kia Forte 5-Door - 2010 New York Auto Show Coverage, New Car Reviews, Concept Cars - Automobile Magazine
The Forte family grows.

Kia took the wraps off a third Forte model, a sleek-looking hatchback that will join the coupe and sedan this summer. Compared to the sedan, the new body style trims seven inches from the overall length, but height, width, and wheelbase remain the same. The two-engine lineup mirrors that of today's Forte, with a 156-hp, 2.0-liter in the base car and a 2.4-liter, 173-hp unit powering the sport version. Either engine offers the choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic with shift paddles.inline_mediumwraptextright27408368/features/news/1004_2011_kia_forte_5_door2011-kia-forte-hatch-front-three-quarter.jpgTrue
