Boasting sleek, classy looks, high fuel economy, and a luxury-car-level interior, the 2024 Kia Forte has a lot going on. Read on for a detailed breakdown of the Kia Forte’s impressive features.
A Thrill to Drive
The Kia Forte comes standard with a sprightly 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates up to 147 HP to offer you more than enough power to zip around in a hurry. This engine’s true value, however, lies in its off-the-charts fuel economy of up to 41 MPG on the highway, reducing gas-station stops tremendously.
The optional 1.6-liter turbocharged engine that’s standard on the GT models cranks out 201 HP to have the Forte scuttling to 60 in just 6 seconds. And while the 2.0-liter’s polished CVT transmission offers a refined ride, the turbocharged engine ditches suaveness for unbridled aggression, coming with either a dual-clutch automatic or a 6-speed manual for an adrenaline-rushing driving experience. The nicely weighted steering gives lots of feedback, while the sport-tuned multi-link suspension glides over imperfections for an ultra-smooth ride.
Luxurious Cabin
The 2024 Forte boasts one of the most high-end cabins in its category. 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.
