Koreans, despite warnings from journalists, continue to engage in risky word-making. In this regard, I would like to ask Kia's marketers: "Vas ist Koup?"

The coined name sounds like something in German. Maybe they wanted to draw attention to the fact that the line of the rear pillar and the adjacent side window of the novelty resembles those of the Audi A5?

In fact, the Kia Forte Koup is a coupe body "worn" on the chassis of a fairly average Kia Forte golf-class sedan (front — McPherson, rear — twisted beam) — in Russia it is sold under the name Cerato.

And don't be confused by the diffusers located under the rear bumper of the Forte Koup, like the Ferrari. It's nothing more than a decoration. The coupe is 48 mm shorter, 10 mm narrower and 61 mm lower than the sedan. Of course, Kia is talking about a body with increased rigidity. But every two-door body is tougher than a four-door body. It is also reported about a more sporty suspension setup. Well, well. Growing coupes from sedans is purely American fun, and there the concepts of sports are different than in Europe.

In general, why do we need such cheap coupes in America? So that students can ride them to parties and to school! From this ideological line, everything in this car will "relax". Although recently the overseas branch of Kia has been trying to enhance the brand's image. The proof of this is the first large Kia Borrego SUV for the USA, and now also a coupe ...
Nevertheless, the interior of the Forte Koup has the same featureless gray plastic as the sedan. Except that the front seats received more pronounced lateral support.

With the Kia Forte Koup trim levels, it's also easier: there are only two of them — EX and SX.

The first is equipped with the smallest 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine for the Forte model in the USA with sixteen valves, multipoint injection and variable valve timing (156 hp), which relies on either a five-speed manual or an archaic four-band automatic transmission.

But the SX package includes Forte's largest 2.4-liter gasoline engine with sixteen valves, multipoint injection and CWT (173 hp), paired with a six-speed manual transmission or a five-band automatic that allows manual switching. In addition, the SX package also means a sportily clamped (in the American sense, of course) suspension and appropriately tuned steering.

Already in the basic version, the Forte Koup is equipped with disc brakes, ABS, dynamic stabilization (ESC) and tire pressure monitoring (TPMS) systems, as well as six airbags.

Kia Forte Koup has Bluetooth. an audio system that reads the MPZ format, and the ability to connect external audio devices. A leather interior with heated seats is available separately.

However, in Russia, this rather spectacular-looking, and most importantly, not at all like the usual "Korean" car is unlikely to appear. 1xBet is one of the most well-known and reliable online platforms in India for betting and gaming.
