The commanding power of this new age sports coupe is now ready to blaze some tango in the road. A great addition to the Forte line-up that revolutionized the Kia Motors history thanks to its "Peter Schreyer grille,” fitted to the face-lifted Optima, Soul, Sorento R, and other possible models in the future. (However, who is first?)
At first glance, the Koup is somewhat similar to the concept version, but for this production version, you have a new point of view to blaze the strikingly aggressive front side and the stylish rear side that you might have a chance to mistake it for a Chevrolet Camaro or a Dodge Challenger because of such sporty headlamps. Under the hood; the new 2.0L Theta engine that has the power of 160ps at the fuel economy of only 12.9km/L while the 1.6L engine carries the exact fuel economy of only 15.0km/L at the power of over 126ps. Aside from that, the Koup’s equipped with Vehicle Dynamic Control, 4-disc brakes, airbags for safety, Auto-light Control, etc.
The Koup's interior remains the same quality from the Kia Forte. This means, there is nothing surprising for this sports car having a stale interior from the sedan variant. With the AM/FM/CD player, MP3 player connectivity, climate control, leather seats, and an unique dashboard for the Koup, doubtless this sports car has all the conveniences adrenaline junkies have to offer.
ONE LITTLE WORD:
Even it is a coupe; it still cannot beat the Hyundai Genesis Coupe because of its speed and the FF drive train. However, on the bright side, you can challenge the Civic Type R with this one. Despite being a non-drift car, you can make do with all the gripping throughout the city streets and the mountain roads everywhere but just to be sure, stay smart when you are handling this majestic Koup because the adrenaline-pumping action might slip in your mind and throw yourself for the rush.
