The 2013 Kia Forte Koup, part of the vehicle's first generation, is a stylish two-door compact car with dynamic performance properties. It comes in two trims: EX and SX. The EX is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 156 horsepower, while the SX upgrades to a 2.4-liter that churns out 173 horsepower. Both trims come with a standard six-speed manual transmission, but a six-speed automatic is also available. Its standard features include a six-speaker stereo with USB and auxiliary input, Bluetooth, and satellite radio. The upper-level SX adds a sport-tuned suspension, upgraded cloth seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and metal-finish interior accents. The Forte Koup boasts impressive safety features, including dual front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, and side curtain airbags. Among its accolades, the 2013 model's sedan variant was named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
