The Kia Forte is a compact car made by the South Korean automaker Kia from 2008 to 2024, replacing the Kia Spectra. It is known as the K3 in Asia, the Forte K3 or Shuma in China, and the Cerato in South America, Australia, New Zealand and Russia. Over its production it was offered as a two-door coupe, a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback. It was not sold in Europe, where the similarly sized Kia Ceed took its place, except in Russia and Ukraine, where both were sold together. Production ended in 2024 and the Forte was replaced by the K4, while the K3 name moved to a subcompact car that replaced the Rio.
