The Kia Forte features a standard peppy 147-horsepower 2.0L engine and offers an even more potent 201-horsepower 1.6L turbocharged engine upgrade. With the standard Drive Mode Select system on board, you can tailor your drives more precisely by switching among Normal, Sport, and Smart modes.

Furthermore, the Kia Forte can reach an EPA-estimated 30 city/41 highway MPG when properly equipped, so you can enjoy plenty of stop-free trips.*

All that power and efficiency gets harnessed by one of three transmissions. Choose from the following:

• Intelligent Variable Transmission with Sportmatic®
• Available 6-Speed Manual Transmission
• Available 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission with paddle shifters

If you spend significant time in your on-road companion, either enjoying an adventure or getting to work every day, you’ll want a comfortable cabin that feels spacious. We think the Kia Forte fulfills that role.

Optional amenities like heated and ventilated seating, dual-zone auto climate control, and a power sunroof can be found throughout this Kia vehicle.

Check out the dimensions within the cabin:

Stash your shopping bags or luggage for a weekend away in 15.3 cubic feet of trunk space. If you want to use the available 60/40 split-folding rear seat, you can still count on enough room for two passengers with the seat down. The optional Smart Trunk™ makes your cargo easily accessible and opens with the Smart Key on hand.

The Kia Forte offers the Kia Drive Wise Driver Assist Technology suite to give you greater confidence behind the wheel. It includes a plethora of standard and available features, such as:

• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist - Lets you know if another vehicle is in your blind spot.
• Lane Keeping Assist - Provides corrective steering, if necessary, to help you stay safely between the lines on the road until you intend to change lanes.
• Driver Attention Warning - Sends an alert if it detects signs of distracted or fatigued driving to remind you to pull over to rest.

With available Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, you’ll be able to enjoy your daily drives even more. This system uses directional and navigational data as well as sensors to maintain a safe distance between you and the car ahead. When traffic slows, the Kia reduces speed, and then returns the model to your standard settings when traffic resumes.
