Product Overview

Kia Forte / K3 Mk2 (chassis code YD) is a compact hatchback in production from 2012 to 2018. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.6 to 2.0 liters.
Related to the Cee'd, the Forte is sold primarily in the North American market. Kia put slightly more powerful engine in the vehicle and made the car slightly more spacious to accommodate consumer demands in this region. Whereas the Cee'd uses multi-link rear suspensions, the Forte has to do with semi-independent torsion beam suspensions.
