First generation (2009–2013) The Hyundai Elantra (HD), though employing a torsion-beam rear suspension in place of the Elantra’s multilink design.Kia has stated that the Forte was specifically designed to target younger buyers attracted to sharper auto designs.The first generation has 4 types, that is Coupe (Koup),Sedan,Hatchback and LPI Hybrid.

To make it more fuel efficient, the Forte is offered with the new Nu engine, in a 1.8 Liter DOHC MPI 4-cylinder producing 148 hp (110 kW) with 131 pound-feet (178 N•m) of torque, and a 2.0 Liter DOHC GDI 4-cylinder rated at 173 hp (129 kW) with 154 pound-feet (209 N•m) of torque. The first thing you’ll likely notice about the new 2010 Kia Forte (pronounced FOR – TAY) is its styling, which appears to crib several cues from competitors Honda and Toyota. While a clear departure from the outgoing Spectra, the new look is relatively conservative from a design standpoint and likely won’t prove controversial. The new car’s grown an inch in wheelbase, length, and width, but the Spectra’s MacPherson-strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension are still there and the interior volume has changed less http://www.autoradiodvdgpstv.com/kia-forte/（第 2／7 页）2013/7/9 16:18:53

than a cubic inch. Cargo volume is up though to 14.7 cu ft from 12.2 cu ft. Of course, smooth rides and good power aren’t always enough for some people. They want more, and for them, the Forte keeps the SX trim level. The SX receives a more-potent 2.4L DOHC inline fourcylinder engine that makes 173 hp and 168 lb-ft of torque, which is more powerful than the Toyota Corolla XRS and nips at the heels of the Honda Civic Si. A standard six-speed manual transmission or option five-speed automatic with Sportmatic should make this car a strong performer in its class, and we hope the performance-tuned suspension will iron out some of the Spectra SX’s foibles. One place the SX didn’t need much help was in the braking department, but nevertheless, Kia has upped the Forte’s game with 11.8-in. disc brakes up front, nearly a full inch larger than on other models. Heavy praise was also heaped upon the Spectra’s interior, and the Forte looks to pick up where that car left off. All models keep the Spectra’s six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, tilt steering column and dual 12-volt outlets in the center console. You’ll also be treated to an updated four-speaker stereo with a USB input added next to the auxiliary input, standard Bluetooth connectivity and Sirius Satellite Radio with a free three-month subscription.

However,Happyshoppinglife offers a Kia DVD Player with GPS Navigation, Bluetooth, and Touchscreen, which is a solution to the car owners’ problems. Drivers don’t need to do any change about the car as the HD Car DVD Player is specially designed. What’ more, GPS allows drivers to be informed about the closest way to the destination. Meanwhile drivers can listen to the music or other are able to watch a movie with the GPS working. The HD touch screen is very convenient and saves the trouble of being unclear when the sunshine is strong. Besides, the DVD Player can be connected to the steering wheel, which means that drivers can control the volume and the player of the music, or even answer a call with hands still on the steering wheel. So this is the best choice, I bet, for the upgrading of your car.
