The 2010 Kia Koup fresh, most recent styling is certainly a strong point. Combined with the Forte sedan, it presents the latest design direction for Kia, which is making a significant effort to differentiate its products visually from corporate parent Hyundai’s. The Koup’s mesh grille and air intake are part of a new Kia signature family look that you will find on much more cars later on. A solid shoulder line running the length of the car and standard 16-inch or optional 17-inch alloy wheels bring the 2010 Forte Koup a sharp street stance.
Several are going to notice resemblances to the Honda Civic coupe (at this time Honda’s best-looking car) since the proportions and smoothly integrated headlights do strongly appear similar to Honda. Nevertheless, the Kia Koup still appears distinctive enough to fit the newest Kia company look. Several new Kia autos are receiving the same front-end treatment.
The small Forte Koup 2010 mostly seems similar to a Kia Forte 4 door losing a pair of rear door till you take a look closer. The sheet-metal resemblances end at the front end as almost everything else is definitely distinctive to the two-door. The visual rake of the Kia Forte Koup is impressive and offers it a feeling of sportiness, specially if looked at from the rear or front corner.
The 2010 Kia Forte Koup seems like the sedan at first blush, however there are actually dissimilarities. The lower roof, sportier seating and overall performance feeling of the Koup’s interior feels immediately frisky. It is an easy set up and there are several cheap plastics. On the whole, even so, the Koup’s interior can be competitive with all of the car in its segment.
The Kia Forte Koup 2010 certainly is the younger brother to the Kia Forte four-door sedan. The Forte Koup is definitely the first 2-door coupe model for Kia Motors. The brand new Forte Koup stays true to the Kia design with excellence in comfort, convenience, performance and safety features. The Koup will supply technology driven options such as Bluetooth connectivity, voice activated hands-free operation for equipped cell phones, six-speaker audio system with three-months freed from SIRIUS satellite radio.

The mpg average of EX model can be 25 city and 34 highway and also has a starting price of $16,595. With the SX model you will get an upgraded 2.5-liter in-line four-cylinder producing 173 horsepower with mpg average can be 22 city and 32 highway. The Kia Forte SX is offered at $17,695.
