The nicely weighted steering gives lots of feedback, while the sport-tuned multi-link suspension glides over imperfections for an ultra-smooth ride.

It can come with an all-leather interior, complete with heated and ventilated seats, a power sunroof, leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, LED ambient lighting, and a state-of-the-art 8-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Audio System that will convert the cabin into a music studio. The Forte's standard seats are nicely contoured to offer back support, while the GT models favor sport bucket seats that hug you during spirited drives. In addition to being luxurious, the Kia Forte is tremendously roomy, boasting a class-leading passenger volume of 96 cubic feet. This roominess extends to its trunk, which again is a class leader with up to 15 cubic feet of cargo space. You'll love the trunk's smart design that allows it to open automatically when it senses you (the key fob) behind it, as well as the broad and flat floor and wide-opening lid that make loading up a breeze. Lots of Convenient Technology The standard infotainment system is a sleek and responsive 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. Available on higher trims is a 10.3-inch touchscreen with voice-command navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a wireless charging pad. To help keep you safe while driving, the Forte is equipped with several driver-assist technologies, including Forward-Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane-Departure Warning with Lane-Keeping Assist, and available Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane-Following Assist.
