Eh bien, nous connaissons enfin la Kia cee'd 2012, et personnellement (vous vous posez peut-être la même question), il se pourrait que cette nouvelle compacte de segment C subisse le même sort que la Rio 2012.
À propos de la Rio, Kia a décidé de vendre différentes versions en tant que modèle mondial : en Europe, avec la berline à 5 portes et la 3-portes, tandis qu'aux États-Unis, on trouve aussi la 5-portes et la berline tricorps. Pour cela, on pourrait penser qu'il en sera de même avec la cee'd/Forte (c'est ce que j'ai cru au début), mais après avoir vu les dernières photos espion de l'intérieur de la K3
, le volant est le même que celui de la nouvelle cee'd, mais le reste de ce que l'on voit adopte un design différent.
En regardant cet intérieur et en le comparant à celui de la nouvelle cee'd européenne, on trouve quelques différences. Les panneaux de porte, la planche de bord ou les aérateurs sont différents. La nouvelle Forte/K3 sera peut-être prête pour le Salon de l'auto de New York 2012, qui se tient en avril. Côté moteurs, la Kia cee'd 2012 sera disponible en juin avec deux moteurs essence (1.4 Gamma 100 ch, 1.6 GDi 140 ch) et deux diesels CRDi (1.4 et 1.6 de 90 et 126 ch respectivement). Pour la Forte/K3, on suppose le moteur 1.6 GDi, peut-être le 2.0 GDi de 177 ch et, en rêvant un peu, une version coupé sport avec le 1.6 T-GDi de 208 ch, utilisé dans la Veloster Turbo.
Kia osera-t-elle lancer une version sportive de la Forte Koup, avec un moteur à la hauteur ? À vos paris !

Here is why I don't think the cee'd hatch is the Forte hatch for the USA. Go back 2 years ago. Remember seeing the 2011 Rio hatch on spy shots and a few weeks later a B segment Kia sedan was caughts on spy shots? It was often mistaken as the Rio if you can recall. Now find me some 2011 Rio sedan spy shots....oh I forgot there aren't any. So what does that tell you? How can anyone be 100% sure that a Forte hatch isn't being tested right now? After all someone saw the Rondo and Sedona being tested at Ann Arbor. So that leaves a gap in assuming that the cee'd is the Forte hatch. Also, lets get into a bigger reason why I think Kia is more creative than a rebadged cee'd design for the Forte. Kia has a total of 3 B segment hatches on sales in different countries: Rio hatch, K2 hatch and the Kia Venga. My question is if Kia can come up with 3 hatches on the same platform and look nothing alike, why can't they come up with 2 C segment stylish hatches on the same platform? Just because there are no spy shots of the Forte hatch doesn't mean it doesn't exist. After all, find me 2011 Rio sedan spy shots.
Actually I'm not guessing. Well, it's an educated guess. I've run a Hyundai community for many years and know that the Forte will be based on the Elantra MD platform. The Elantra MD consists of the sedan and new coupe. The Forte sedan and coupe will be based on those. The new Elantra hatchback is based on the i30, not the MD platform and I'd be shocked if Kia doesn't use the same as a basis for their Forte hatch.
About the 2011 Rio sedan spy shots you're right. I never seen those spy shots, instead, I seen a lot of spy shots of the 5-door Rio and K2 Sedan. About the cee'd and the forte, I just send my opinion and I want your opinion, his opinion.....all opinions. At first I think that Kia sold the new Forte/Cee'd as a global model with a few differences, but watching the latest spy shots, and the official pics of the cee'd, I must admit I was wrong! Greetings!

Oh one other thing, based on you guys perspective on the cee'd being the Forte hatch doens't make sense. First of all, looking back at the Rio on spy shots, that hatch looked nothing like the K2. And besides, why would Kia have different interiors for the C segment hatch and sedan? Ever thought of that? Yet the Rio hatch and Rio sedan have the same interiors. The K2 sedan and hatch have the same interiors. So according to y'all if the Cee'd design is the Forte, why would the sedan and hatch have different interiors? The cee'd hatch is not the Forte hatch.

Never said the nothing about the Elantra. I said, I don't believe that the cee'd hatch is a rebadged Forte hatch for the States. I don't give a rats behind if the next Forte is on the Elantra or Cee'd platform. I don't believe the cee'd is a rebadged Forte.
