Kia's 1.6 Forte

[Verbl Kint]

SRP is supposedly P828,000 for the 1.6 LX A/T 4-dr sedan.



Does anyone have an idea where to find the specs?

[niky]

Hmm... Haven't heard about it yet... Sounds good, though...

[pop3corn]

ok to ah. totoo ba yan kase di ba ganyan lang presyo ng rio. diba competing

[cyplanr]

Tama yung price, may flyers ang Kia Alabang sa display nila festival mall, sponsored ng east west bank. May naka display na Forte koup, nagulat ako sa presyo 948k, 2.0L 2-door

WHAAAAT? 1.4M yan dati ah. Naguubos ng stocks? Or is this a stripped down version?

Baka nag uubos ng stock & also competitive sa ibang brand. Maybe may new model incoming, kaya??

ah, dati na pala nila offer ito? akala ko bagong release kasi ngayon ko lang nakita, wala nga silang brochure pa. hindi ko alam kung stripped down pero may fog lamps, 2.0L ang makina, AT, may controls sa steering wheel at lighted glove box. yun lang napansin ko na mukhang hindi naman stripped down at isa lang model nila sa line-up. Downgrade siguro ay yung rear brakes na drum tapos discs sa harap. not sure kung nag uubos sila ng stock pero kung hindi ako nagkakamali parang yellow/orange yung conduction sticker eh. sana may maka-punta uli ng festival mall to be sure at ma-confirm. but this i think is a very good buy at this offering.

Bakit nagmura bigla?

[cyplanr]

your guess is as good as mine. mukhang gusto nilang mapasok ang compact sedan segment, yung price nung sedan na Forte ay very competitive din. mukhang maganda rin itsura, a bigger Rio, pang tapat sa Corolla/Civic.

That is because they weren't able to move stocks as fast as they should and the all new Forte is coming.

Too bad. Since it should have been how the Forte is priced since day 1.

The Forte Koup now really looks attractive at the price (949k), I hope it's essentially same variant as introduced 4 years ago. With large wheel and tire combo, sunroof and features galore.

too late the hero..

pero sabi nga nila better late than never hahaha!

sayang itong forte, laki ng potential sa market.

why priced it ridiculously nun una ???

[cyplanr]

baka may directive na from their Korean mother company (with Hyundai) to trounce the Japs/other manufacturers in every segment... kung baga kung hindi Hyundai and kunin ng mga buyers, tingnan naman nila offerings ng Kia.

Yeah! The 2.0SX 4-door model was priced at P 1.320M while the Forte Koup 2-door at P 1.420M. That makes it very much doomed from the start.

But still, at around 940+K the Koup is a great bargain. I wanna convince my sis to get one hahaha!

btw, anyone knows if it still has:
Automatic headlamps; side mirror turn signal repeaters; moon roof; SmartKey keyless engine start/stop, entry with alarm and immobilizer EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), Brake Assist ESC (Electronic Stability Control)?

it still has 17" wheels but losses the rear discs.

[pop3corn]

That means 900k+ din ang Elantra coupe

[cyplanr]

wala pa bang specs other than the engine disp at transmission? tahimik naman ng kia, pero inunahan ang ford sa paglabas ng focus. la ba sila budget for ads/marketing?

[jut703]

I still prefer the Elantra's styling over this. Even if they price the Forte sedan like the Elantra, I'd still choose the latter.

OMG. ayus ah. Sana they retained the wheels ng 4 door sedan kahit 1.6 ltr

even may lalabas na kasing bagong Forte, that 2 door koup is pure win!!!


and nasaan si Desert Fox? :D

tagal na nag hibernate si brother desert fox eh, now sia kailangan

[ratchet23]

this forte uses the platform and engines of the old elantra right? kaya siguro minadali yung full-model change ng FORTE. to simplify the production for Hyundai-Kia. may all-new Forte na sa 2013 kahit di pa masyadong luma yung design ng current.

[cyplanr]

sa nakita kong display may side mirror turn signal repeater, keyless entry pero hindi yung engine start/stop button. ang nagulat ako- may cruise control.
