Sport? This week we test drove 2020 Kia Forte5 GT.  It has 1.6 turbo mated to 7 DCT and it has 5 doors. Would this be faster than Hyundai Elantra Sports?  It made me smile.  So let’s meet 2020 Kia Forte5 GT.

 
-1.6 Turbo Gasoline 204hp | 27kg.m (1,500~4,500)
 
- 7 Speed Dual Clutch Transmission
 
 
Competition: Hyundai Elantra GT, Honda Civic Type-R, Volkswagen GTi

C&C will not bring in this model as it will affect sales of the Stinger.

 

As if the Stinger was selling by the truckloads, not to mention that its a different sized car in a different segment.

This is not something new, Cerato turbo, Elantra turbo. All selling in Boleh land, vietnam. Only we don't have it.

Kia K5 GT is also available in Malaysia. With 240hp, should be be same engine as Stinger GT line. Saw a youtube review, selling price around RM160k.

Err, 204 horses, not 240. It's only a warm hatch. The base rhd i30N has 250bhp from 2 litres.
