The K3 also picks up the two-spoke steering wheel introduced on the EV6. Below that are the dedicated climate and sound system controls. Outboard air vents are hidden in the stylized panel that wraps around behind the screen cluster, while the inboard ones still stand out in the middle of the dash. The digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen (the latter of which can be a 10.25-inch display) are part of one connected monolith of a housing, and it sits atop a clutter-free dash. The interior is cleaned up compared to the Forte. And at the back, the K3 keeps a full-width taillight, but it looks more unified than the Forte's. The rear quarter window like on the current Forte and the K5 also sticks around. It's a fastback shape, and the lines of the chrome trim and roof trim intersect nicely. Their Monolith is claimed to be the worlds first skateboard to feature hub motors in the two rear wheels. The greenhouse of the K3 is very much that of the K5, but scaled down. The whole front end also looks a bit longer and more horizontal. The daytime running lights zig-zag down the sides of the front bumper. The nose has a thin, wide grille with headlights that blend into it. I can see clear advantages of the Stary and inboard Monolith, but does anyone anticipate any disadvantage or problem to arise with them The monolith looks to have comparable power to the Boosted board, and even more speed and range. The design is much more distinctive than the current Forte, and it borrows significantly from the larger K5. As such, this sedan and the new nameplate will likely supplant the Forte in Mexico, and quite likely here, too. or even Mexico for that matter, but in South Korea, it's the name used on the Forte. In something of a surprise reveal (at least to us), Kia showed the new K3 compact sedan in Mexico City.
