Kia has unveiled the K3 compact sedan in Mexico City, which is expected to replace the current U.S. Forte. The design of the K3 is more distinctive than the current Forte, taking inspiration from the larger K5. It features a thin, wide grille with integrated headlights, and zig-zag daytime running lights on the front bumper. The overall front end appears longer and more horizontal.
The design is much more distinctive than the current Forte, and it borrows significantly from. The nose has a thin, wide grille with headlights that blend into it. The daytime running lights zig-zag down the sides of the front bumper. The whole front end also looks a bit longer and more horizontal. The greenhouse of the K3 is very much that of the, but scaled down. It's a fastback shape, and the lines of the chrome trim and roof trim intersect nicely.
The interior is cleaned up compared to the Forte. The digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen are part of one connected monolith of a housing, and it sits atop a clutter-free dash. Outboard air vents are hidden in the stylized panel that wraps around behind the screen cluster, while the inboard ones still stand out in the middle of the dash. Below that are the dedicated climate and sound system controls.
The K3 goes on sale in some markets in the fourth quarter of this year, with additional ones to follow. The U.S. was never cited specifically, but neither were a variety of markets it will probably be offered in. As such, if it launches in America, it could be toward the end of the year, or sometime next year.
