LEHIGHTON, Pa., Aug. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Sedan and hatchback cars manufactured by the Kia brand have been lauded by consumers and critics for their style, fuel economy, and overall usability. The compact 2017 Kia Forte and subcompact 2017 Kia Rio are popular choices for drivers because both models are available in sedan and hatchback formats. To help ensure that shoppers drive away happy, Lehighton Kia has built two new research pages that compare these vehicles in their sedan form and hatchback form.
