SG: First Owners of the all-new Forte K3 received their Keys in a Handover Ceremony

  Fifty lucky fans of Kia Singapore Facebook fan page and Torque Facebook fan page were invited to the "Experience Forte K3" event which took place on  Saturday 6 July.  The fifty fans spent half a day going through three segments, Product Immersion, Handling and Urban Drive.  Product Immersion involved trainers being introduced to the all-new Kia Forte K3 via a PowerPoint presentation, followed by an actual touch-and-feel of the display cars where participants were encouraged to explore and try out the different features and functions introduced during the presentation.  In Handling, participants got to drive the Forte K3 and a competitor model through a slalem course, allowing them to feel how the vehicles handled differently in terms of steering feel, body roll, vehicle stability, among others. They also tried out how the Forte K3 reacted differently when the Flex Steering function was in use.

The diesel engine pumps out a maximum torque of 392Nm at 1800 – 2500rpm and 0-100 kph can be achieved in 9.9 seconds. Both the petrol and diesel variants feature a 6-speed automatic transmission, with the petrol variant being a 2WD and the diesel variant a 4WD
