Change is On the Way
Without question, the compact segment is an incredibly tough arena in which to
compete - nameplates such as Corolla, Civic and Mazda3 have dominated for far
too long. But change has arrived in the form of the 2012
Kia Forte 5-door Hatchback EX and SX. Even against its toughest competitors, the Kia Forte is a
leader - delivering an unbeatable mix of style, performance, and innovative content.
Forte 5-door Hatchback key features...
Lively Performance and Power
Forte EX is powered by a 2.0-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine, producing a class-leading
156 horsepower and 144 pound-feet of torque, that features Continuously Variable Valve Timing
(CVVT) and multi-port electronic fuel injection, both of which provide for greater performance
and fuel economy. The SX features an upgraded 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine, also with
CVVT, which delivers 173 horsepower - more powerful and with better fuel economy than the
Mazda3s and Corolla XRS.
