As expected, the 2014 Kia Forte sedan is set to be unveiled at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, which begins next week.
Essentially a renamed version of the KIA K3 and the Cerato concern the equipment packages. Notable highlights include a chrome accents, LED-infused headlights,d istinctive taillights, a prominent grille and a rakish windscreen.
The 2014 KIA Forte measures 179.5 inches (4,560 mm) long, 70.1 inches (1,780 mm) wide and 56.5 inches (1,435 mm) tall, so it`s really on the big side of the compact car sector.
The new Forte is expected to use the same 1.8-liter -cylinder 4-cylinder that develops 140 HP (103 kW) and 167 Nm (123 lb-ft) of torque.
The Cerato/Forte appearance in LA isn't a huge surprise, expect more information on the next-gen Forte to surface later this week.
