I believe its the 2 door version of the Cerato Forte. Test drives will only be available at C&C starting 17th October. Costs S$57,999(with COE) for the 1.6l MT. And standard package comes with 17 inch rims, front and rear disc brakes, sunroof and a whole load of goodies!

 

P.S. Information above is taken from the latest issue of CarBuyer (Issue 134)

There is a 2.0L Theta II TC engine ???? Looks quite chio also..

The KOUP concept features all of the standard safety features offered in Kia's regular production vehicle lineup including six standard airbags and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Electronic Stability Control (ESC) paired with CDC stabilizes the KOUP for maximum contact with the pavement. The large 245/40ZR19 tires complete the KOUP's impressive package. Also included is adaptive front lighting and cruise control, adding to the KOUP's advanced safety technology.

Hmmm looks like a hybrid of Honda Civic and Lancer EX put together but with 2 doors! Good price as well.

Its classified as "Sports" bro. All 2 doors car considered as sports.

[starr]

sports?

aiyoo..

insurance will pay like siow ar..

[jB]

Thats the premium you gotta pay for looking good, stock! Tuscani drivers also pay stock premiums I believe

[Cpt.ZR]

IMO i think kia is really getting into the nicer looking car designs... Great job for the designers IMO...

 

not to mention the price also not bad lei.

[biting_point]

sat in it when i visited the showroom..

quite spacious in boot and passenger..

dashboard quite nice..

like the frameless doors..

 

haizz... if i had not bought my Swift.. this one definately in..

price is very attractive comparing to Tuscani at $80k..

 

rims ugly always can change.. does not void warranty according to SE..

[Demon]

For their first attempt into a sports coupe, Kia did a really good job as compared to Hyundai's first S-coupe.

.

 

at $80k, I think it's pricing is way off because it's performance is really below par.

Totally agree with you

[biting_point]

that makes this a steal..

 

for me, i'm not looking at performance..

i'm more on looks and comfort for cars..

not really...so far, the SEs at C & C are saying that they are in the midst of negotiating with AIG on the premium rates of the Koup as basically, the engine is the same as their sedan Forte... Moreover, the koup is only priced $3k above the forte.. so market value of that car won't vary much from Forte.....since no major engine performance enhancement and not much diff in body / market value, the insurance premium might not be alot higher than the Forte.......

[Throttle]

looks neat.

should be a fun drive but definitely not sporty.

Huh? Then the VW beetle is a sports car meh?
