The inspector said this car has always been maintained on time and used very carefully. After a road test, the car's power and brakes were still very strong, and the chassis support was excellent on curves and bumpy roads. Overall, it remains a high-performing car. The Kia Forte is a very practical compact family car, and Korean cars have a more precise understanding of Chinese consumer preferences, such as larger space, higher configuration, and more comfortable seats. The owner said the Forte is Kia's second family car; he really liked the previous generation Cerato's stable and dignified appearance. The Forte has a more mature look while emphasizing a sporty and stylish character, making it very suitable for those born in the 1980s who are just starting out and building their careers.
Our documentation department has the latest versions of UN38.3 (United Nations Transport of Dangerous Goods Test and Standards) and MSDS reports authorized or filed by major Chinese new energy brands (such as BYD, Geely, GAC), which are essential customs documents for declaring dangerous goods to the maritime authority.
Due to legal restrictions preventing unregistered vehicles from high-speed driving on public roads in China, most of our dynamic tests are conducted in a closed area (with a maximum speed of around 60 km/h). This is sufficient to test for suspension noise and low gear smoothness, but it cannot simulate high-speed wind noise and tire balance vibrations at 120 km/h.
We will check if the vehicle identification number (VIN) is within the official recall batch. If there are any outstanding safety recalls (such as replacing Takata airbags), we will require the original owner to assist in sending it to an official 4S shop to complete the free recall work before the vehicle is deregistered.
