Kia Forte Koup has been discontinued, with the last model being the 2014 version, which was launched in February 2014. More details about the Kia Forte Koup are as follows: 1. The Kia Forte Koup is positioned as a sports car, with a 2-door, 5-seat hardtop coupe structure and a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. 2. The dimensions of the 2014 Kia Forte Koup are 4555mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1420mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. 3. The 2014 Kia Forte Koup was equipped with either a 1.6T or a 2.0L engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The maximum power outputs of the 1.6T and 2.0L engines are 150 kW and 118 kW, respectively, with maximum torques of 265 Nm and 194 Nm.
I've been keeping an eye on Kia's model updates, and the Kia Soul (English name: Kia Soul) hasn't officially announced a global discontinuation yet—it's still in normal production. This car has been popular since its launch in 2008, especially for its unique styling and practicality in the micro crossover SUV segment, featuring flexible space and trendy designs that appeal to young people. The 2023 new model comes with an upgraded intelligent safety system, including automatic emergency braking, giving it a slight edge over competitors like the Honda HR-V. If you're concerned about the situation in the Chinese market, the imported version of the Soul might have limited stock, but joint-venture production continues. The future trend is electrification, and Kia is also rolling out the electric Soul EV, which is already available in Europe with fast charging and zero emissions. So don't rush to find a replacement—it's fairly reliable, and a friend of mine has driven one for eight years with affordable maintenance costs.
