All 3 Kia Forte Generations
Each generation deals in its rarity tier’s alloy with its engine disc, lead specs, and first spotter record. Click into any generation for full trims and market figures.
This compact sedan borrows its stance from Kia's own sports sedan: designed by the same Peter Schreyer who did the Stinger, the BD Forte copies its cab-rearward fastback profile and even its floating touchscreen.
Kia's two-door Forte Koup barely outlasted this generation's launch — it and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe were both axed after the 2016 model year, just two and a half years in, as coupe sales dried up.
The Forte's LPI Hybrid, sold only in Korea, paired an LPG engine with an electric motor and a battery pack that made it the first production car anywhere to use lithium-polymer cells.
