And it keeps on coming! We showed you the rear shot of the next-gen Kia Forte this morning, after Kia officially released sketches of their upcoming C-segment sedan earlier in the week. Now, we have got hold of some front and front three quarter shots to complete the picture. With this, we have seen the next Kia Forte in full!
These shots of a white coloured Forte YD show a face that’s true to the concept, from the grille to the lights, although there’s a slight difference in the foglamp design. Like the rear design, the front shares the family look seen on big brother Optima K5, but as pointed out earlier, the shape is more organic here compared to the sharp lines of the Optima.
Compared to the K5, this car’s tiger nose is more well defined, and it doesn’t sit in a box. Also, the new Forte doesn’t come with the Optima’s mask-like face – the lights and grille are joined, but only slightly. We can also see LED daytime running lights on the upper edge of the “eyes”.
