compact car, known as the Cerato in some markets, and it will likely be revealed at next year’s Los Angeles Auto Show. While a physical version of the next car has not been revealed yet, some design sketches of the next car have leaked out. 

The next generation Forte is meant to be longer and wider than the previous generation. From the design sketches, the car will have a steeply rising window line that makes it appear like the front is lower than the back. The new Forte will take the current multi-angled Kia grill that gives the car something of a toothless smile. From the sketches, it appears that the rear window is very steeply raked, and the car might even be a notchback instead of having a traditional trunk. 

Overall, the design is quite clean and attractive. Obviously, the production version will have necessary modifications like door handles and windshield wipers.
