New Kia Forte (2013) – Official Looks!

Scheduled for release and subsequent sale in the first quarter of 2013, the looks of what will be Kia’s best selling model, the Forte as we know it our neck of the woods, has just been revealed.

The Korean car manufacturer has made the next generation Forte longer, lower and wider with a whole new body-shell structure that will provide better cabin room and a sporty exterior to entice the eyes with LED front and rear lamps and a chrome-finished belt-line.

Kia is assured that The K3 (as it will be called in Korea) will be receiving upgrades in terms of quality, equipment and fuel economy with a revised engine line-up.

After Honda release their mini Honda Accord, now Mini Kia Optima? They could remain the current tail lights which looks better. Front looks good, rear should just slightly change will do…rear tail lights not that nice… Double wishbone surely impossible for this car…multi-link still at least better.
