Kia is rolling out a revamped compact car in the U.S. even though sales of small cars are dropping, as the nation continues to favor SUVs and pickup trucks.

The South Korean automaker rolled out the new K4, which replaces the Forte, at the New York International Auto Show on Wednesday. It was one of only a few new vehicle debuts at the show, continuing a trend of automakers unveiling new models largely with their own events.
