3. Let it fly.
If you believe life is at its best when you’re behind the wheel, meet your new best friend.
The 2011 Kia Forte Koup is motion wrapped in emotion: a car with performance and
handling characteristics equal to its envy-inducing design. All the excitement is there, from
a choice of 6-speed transmissions and available steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters
to an available sport-tuned suspension system, and up to 173 horsepower under the hood.
The Forte Koup is a one-of-a-kind experience for the driver in you.

4. For all the stuff you do.
Fun, stylish and practical with just a touch
of attitude: that’s the all-new 2011 Kia Forte 5
hatchback.
We’ve taken all the comforts and conveniences
of the Forte sedan and blended in the exciting
performance and handling features of the
celebrated Forte Koup; added the flexibility of a big
rear hatch opening with loads of cargo space; and
wrapped them all up in a captivating, new design.
The Forte5. It’s life-sized for you.
