Kia Forte Koup axed in USA; Honda Civic is last compact coupe standing

The Kia Forte Koup will soon disappear from the US market, leaving in the compact coupe field entirely to the Honda Civic.


James Hope, spokesman for Kia America, told CarDirect, “To better align with our customers’ purchasing trends, KMA will discontinue the two-door Koup following the sell-down of remaining 2016 model year inventory.”

There are probably some good deals on the Forte Koup at the moment. The Forte Koup EX has a 173hp (129kW) 2-liter 4-cylinder and starts at US$20,740 with destination. There’s also a more powerful SX with a 201hp (150kW) 1.6-liter turbo.
