Most vehicles stay on the market for a good six or more years before they're replaced. But Kia isn't most automakers.
The Korean brand has a lot to prove, and as it turns out they're intent on doing just that by keeping their product portfolio fresh.
That's why, though the current Forte sedan has only been on the market since 2009, Kia is already planning on replacing it in the new year with a 2013 model. And this could be our first look at it.
Reportedly leaked in four-door guise, this trio of renderings shows a rather svelte-looking design that borrows some of the dynamic approach of its big brothers at Hyundai, with a steeply raked windshield and the new family grille already familiar from the Optima.
It'll be a while before the new Kia model debuts, but for now this will just have to keep our interests piqued.
