One hot ride.

The Koup is offered in two different trims, EX and SX. The EX is powered by a 156-horsepower, 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, while the SX gets a 173-horsepower, 2.4L four. Both engines get continuously variable valve timing to help optimize performance and fuel economy. A 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission are available for 2012.

The Forte Koup rides on struts and coil springs in front and a torsion-beam setup in back, with stabilizer bars front and back. Engine-speed-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering works well in feeling tight and responsive in corners yet requires little effort for parking situations. On SX models, the suspension gets a firmer tuning for improved handling and an upgrade to 17-inch ten-spoke alloy wheels, but in either case the Koup rides quite well.

The Koup has details and styling cues that help it bear a strong likeness to that of the Forte sedan, but with a lower roofline and overall length that’s two inches shorter, the Koup’s profile is quite different than the sedan’s, especially from the side. The back seat is adult-sized, though entry is a little tight; it’s split 60/40 and the seatbacks can be folded forward, almost flat, to extend the cargo floor for large items.

Kia equipped the Forte Koup to appeal to young and tech-savvy shoppers, so Bluetooth connectivity is standard, as are voice-activated functions and steering-wheel controls. A USB input, auxiliary input, iPod interface and Sirius satellite radio are also included with a 6-speaker sound system. Several other premium features like heated mirrors, keyless entry and cruise control are also included with the base EX.
