Kia has followed up its all-new Forte sedan with the unveiling of the five-door hatchback variant at the Chicago Auto Show. Unlike the current Forte five-door, the styling of the two models is very distinct and there's also a bit more grunt on tap. The entry-level EX is powered by a 2.0-liter GDI four-cylinder rated at 173 hp and 154 lb-ft of torque, while the sportier SX variant comes with a turbocharged 1.6-liter GDI four-pot good for 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque and mated to either a six-speed manual or optional automatic transmission (complete with paddle shifters).
