    I heard that the Kia Forte has an additional variant aside from the sedan and the Koup.

    Look:



    Word from Korea is they'll launch this Forte 5-door this year holding the same engine as the new Hyundai Elantra/Avante MD. Yep, the 1.6L GDi engine. You heard of it?

    For the Korean spec Forte Hatchback, they'll use the 1.6L GDi engine sourced from the latest Hyundai Avante/Elantra.

    I sourced it from Korean websites. Especially the car enthusiast's site for Koreans, Megaauto.

    If you guys can understand Korean, you'll probably know what that means.

Kia Forte 5-door?!
