Most likely this Forte is powered by 1.6 litre cvvt engine..
And maybe the 2.0litre engine will be available in the KOUP (coupe version).
I realize some of u guys here expect to have a 2.0 litre engine with the same price range with City and Dugong.
In ur dreams dude..

But if it comes out as 2.0, the price will be alot different. By that time ppl will compare it against Civic and Altis instead of Vios/City. But heck if its 90k-100k with 2.0 its still cheaper den the Japs.

Koup shud be 2.0 if im not mistaken.

Looking a numerous pictures there seem to be a few different front bumper design. Some are quite sporty and nice while the default one looks plain.

Honda Shivik headlights + Honda Shitti rear lights. If they made the body rounder...

The square body is similar to Lancer type and the tail light is similar in audi a4 (opposite direction). hehe

Guess the so called world reknowned designer's just a marketing gadget he probably dug the design out from his recycle bin.

if you read paultan review there were 2.0 and 2.4 forte tested...koup and the other one has 4 door...but dont expect it to be around 70k

u have many options...dont be so disappointed

not so sure naza will bring the 2.0 and 2.4 though

even if it is 85-95k for the 2.0, i would buy........ maybe comparing the price with sylphy then.......... of course, it is still cheap. 2.0 is definitely the perfect 1...... 1.6 is too low for a c segment car

if the government ddid tax the car then for sure can get around that price for 2.0

if it is around RM70k, then for sure it is only around 1.6cc, 2.0cc should be 100k and above.

in design we can only have straight lines or curves, round or square. so combination is used, and some of them will look similar. as long as the overall shape looks nice and aerodynamic is good, who cares who copy who...

2.0cc Hundai Elantar baru RM93,000, without diskaun. This price oso so few buy.

How can u say Kai Forte 2.0cc = 100k abouve. Who will buy then?

1.6cc RM70 sure ppl buy... then few month down the road, Poton Honda Toyota will make big noise and force price up...

campro cps 125bhp

compare the features inside lar bro..

Hope it has Manual version.

sure or not?

At least it doesn't look bland like the Toyota Vios...

The car design line at least looks more refined, dynamic and certainly sleek unlike bloated Vios front...

lol wht source is that.

Hyundai brand in mysia is seem going into oblivion. KahBinatng and Oriental Holdings has been consolidated with Sime Darby, meaning all Hyundai cars will be marketed and distributed by Sime Darby.

The fate for sedan models like accent, sonata and elantra is remain a question here. I saw a few Kah Bintang showrooms in PJ has been closed down since.

i agree. ppl say copy there and here. but as the result it looks not too aggressive but great. Eurasian i would say
