<br />Following the introduction of its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/11/chicago-2009-kia-forte-rolls-into-chi-town/">all-new Forte</a> compact sedan at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/Chicago-Auto-Show/">Chicago Auto Show</a> in February, Kia unveiled the 2-door variant here at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/New-York-Auto-Show/">New York Auto Show</a> today. The car takes not only the name, but also plenty of styling cues from the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/20/new-york-2008-kia-koup-concept/">KOUP Concept</a> that make it distinctively different from its sedan brother. Up front the Koup receives a more aggressive design, featuring a bespoke front end with a larger lower intake and more vertical side intakes. At the rear are wider and thinner taillights with a larger rear fascia and dual exhaust tips.<br /><br />Powertrains are identical to the sedan; the base EX model gets Kia's 2.0-liter inline-4 producing 156 horsepower and 144 lb-ft torque while the SX features a 2.4-liter four-banger with 173 horsepower and 168 lb-ft torque. Transmission options are a standard 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic on the EX, and a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic on the SX. Inside the Forte Koup features standard sport seats, power windows, power door locks, remote keyless entry and cruise control, and a leather package is an option on both models. Follow the jump for full details in the press release and check out plenty of high-res photos in the gallery below. <br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-2009-kia-forte-koup/">New York: Kia Forte Koup</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-2009-kia-forte-koup/1483126/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/kiafortekouplive_01_thumb nail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-2009-kia-forte-koup/1483127/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/kiafortekouplive_02_thumb nail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-2009-kia-forte-koup/1483128/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/kiafortekouplive_03_thumb nail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-2009-kia-forte-koup/1483129/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/kiafortekouplive_04_thumb nail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/new-york-2009-kia-forte-koup/1483130/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/kiafortekouplive_05_thumb nail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-forte-koup/">Kia Forte Koup</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-forte-koup/1483340/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/fortekoup2010_01_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-forte-koup/1483297/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/fortekoup2010_02_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-forte-koup/1483331/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/fortekoup2010_03_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-forte-koup/1483302/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/fortekoup2010_04_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/kia-forte-koup/1483330/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/04/fortekoup2010_05_thumbnai l.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><strong><small>Photos copyright (C)2009 <a href="http://www.drewphillipsphotograp hy.com/">Drew Phillips</a> / Weblogs, Inc</small></strong><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/09/new-york-kia-goes-2-door-debuts-forte-koup/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>New York: Kia goes 2-door, debuts Forte Koup</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/09/new-york-kia-goes-2-door-debuts-forte-koup/">New York: Kia goes 2-door, debuts Forte Koup</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 09 Apr 2009 12:31:00 EST.
