2017 Kia Forte vs. 2017 Chevy Cruze and 2017 Ford Focus Sedan
Compact cars are always welcome on the roads, driveways and parking lots of America, as they get nice fuel economy and fit into tight spaces due to their small size.

Please note that we are only looking at performance and other specs of the sedan versions for these compacts, and not their hatchback variations.

The 2017 Forte is Compact in Size and Price, But Massive in Quality, in Racine WI!
The 2017 Focus and 2017 Cruze don't have nearly the package the Forte presents, with neither providing the intuitive braking system (Autonomous Emergency Braking) that pumps the brakes if someone or something pops out in front of you suddenly, and they don't have the breadth of climate control on the inside, either. Only the 2017 Kia Forte keeps you this safe, and with the ability to both cool you down or heat you up, depending on the weather. And if you're looking for a compact with nice room for passengers, the 2017 Forte has more elbow and leg room with its 96.2 cubic feet in the inside, while the 2017 Cruze has 94 cubic feet and the 2017 Focus has a scant 90 cubic feet.
When you are compact car-shopping, you want a vehicle that saves you money with its fuel economy, while still providing adequate performance and room for five passengers – the 2017 Forte is tops in this trio with more room, power and fuel savings, as well as nice technology like available UVO3 eServices, which syncs you up with streaming music, navigation directions, and more.
