the new Cerato/Elantra have the same engine, its the most powerful 1.6L new vehicle sold in our market. Its more powerful than the 1.6 units found in the Mazda 3, Honda Civic, Suzuki SX4 and Chevrolet Optra.

Kia Koup 2010/11
New Cerato features a new, efficient engine with Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) for class-leading power and torque, delivering the pulling power and responsiveness to the engine without the fuel consumption of a bigger engine. Some may argue that the Dual-Clutch Gearbox DSG system which was created by VW is quicker (Volkswagen's DSG takes about 8 milliseconds to upshift) and is now being used in a range of other models.

1.6 Koup Built on a front-wheel-drive unibody frame, Kia Forte utilizes an independent front suspension with MacPherson struts and a stabilizer bar and a torsion beam rear suspension with struts and coil springs. Type R4 engine/1591 cc/Power, kW (hp) / RPM 91(124)/6300/Maximum torque, Nm/RPM 156/4200. Which isn't bad for an average car. Suspension front/rear independent/semi-axle.

2.0 Koup Engine Type R4. Fuel System distributed injection, petrol. Supercharger Type none-not yet anyway.lol.
Capacity, cc1975. Valves per cylinder 4. Power, kW (hp) / RPM 115(156)/6200. Maximum torque, Nm / RPM 194/4300
Can't wait for the New optima to come in - it's a dream car. (...that's another thread.)

^^Yep the 1.6 Koup and sedan have about 124 hp, which is basically the same as say, the Swift Sport, albeit that the latter is significantly lighter

THing is though, that the Koup at least seems a tad heavy (like what...1280 kg?), so the 1.6 AUTO still isn't that quick. The manual might make it a bit quicker though...... (for comparison, Swift Sport manual - 0to60mph in 8.7 seconds. Swift Sport auto - 0-60mph in 10.6 seconds).
