Detroit Preview: 2019 Kia Forte: Comments

[Drew Dowdell]

Today Kia released some teaser renderings of the 2019 Kia Forte ahead of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. This third generation Forte adopts a sleeker fastback sedan design intended to remind people of the Kia Stinger.  Up front is a deeper interpretation of Kia's Tiger Nose grille and an aggressive lower air intake. 

Around back are some impressive light-piped tail lights with an additional cluster for turn signals and reverse lights lower in the bumper. 

Inside, the Kia has gone very minimalistic with few buttons and dials.  A large freestanding infotainment screen dominates the center stack.

The 2019 Kia Forte will be officially unveiled at 11:35 am on January 15th at the Cobo Center in Detroit.

Nice looking car, for a car.

4-door coupe styling!   This is now more common than 3 box sedans and kind of boring.

Yeah that coupe styling for a small car will make for a cramped back seat. It looks pretty good but it won't be all that useful.

Looking at it again, I kinda see a 4 door Scion tC.

Wow.....

This makes the Cruze look quite bland now...

Granted, better see the real thing first....
