The ride includes both gasoline-powered 4-door sedan and sporty KOUP versions. Kia has invested KRW 240 billion which is around $180 million and over 25 months period to developed this eco-friendly car. It runs 17.8 km/ℓ and with CO2 emissions of just 99 g/km, it qualifies for billing as a Super Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV).

I normally don't like kia (especially the kia rio) but I actually like the forte. It looks nice.
However, the only thing I worry about is its dependability in the long run. Is it actually gonna last me a good while?
Still, it does look way better than other kia models.

This gonna hit North America? If it does, it'll be Kia's entry into the hybrid market.

Nothing has been released yet on if the hybrid version is comming to the US, but that 1.6 Diesel hybrid is certainly interesting efficiency wise.

Here are some more pics and info on the regular US production Forte. The car "pros" seem to think quite highly of it.

I've been car shopping and almost got this car~

It's definitely a huge step up for Kia in looks, but the hydrids backlights aren't nice lol.
