Kia is out to prove to the world it is serious in its intentions to deliver world class cars with distinctive style. Kia was unveiled Koup during last year’s  New York Auto Show. Based on the new Forte Sedan, Kia makes the first-ever two door coupe with which it shares the mechanical hardware as well as the interior design. On the outside, Kia has come up with a sharp looking design featuring a lower stance and a series of unique styling cues that differentiate the Koup from the sedan.

Actually, even Kia’s small coupe bears a few design similarities with Honda’s European Civic hatchback (front) as well as from the Acura RSX (rear), its looks pretty neat. When we talk about its specification, Koup comes with a wheelbase of 104.3 inches, an overall length of 176.4 inches, an overall width of 69.5 inches and overall height of 55.1 inches, meaning that it’s slightly shorter in length and height than its four-door counterpart. The Koup will be offered with two optional four-cylinder gasoline engines, a 2.4-liter unit for the EX model producing 156 horsepower and 144 pound-feet of torque and a 2.4-liter unit for the SX that delivers 173 horsepower and 168 pound-feet of torque.

Both of them comes with optional transmission, a standard five-speed manual transmission or an optional electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission for the 2.0L EX, and a standard six-speed manual transmission and an optional five-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic for the 2.4L SX.
