The new Kia Forte is one of the market's most stylish, technologically advanced, and roomy small vehicles. It is loaded with the latest technology features at an affordable price than its competitors. Expect the latest Kia Sportage to have a forward collision assistance technology and GT-Line Tech package introduced for the new lineup. Here is a more in-depth analysis of the new Kia Forte at Jeff Wyler Kia:
The LX trim is the entry-level model for the latest Kia Forte. It has 15-inch steel wheels, multiple drive modes, a four-speaker audio system, and a cruise control system. Meanwhile, the LXS trim has 16-inch alloy wheels, upgraded interior trim, and enhanced technology package. The latter includes heated side mirrors, rear cross-traffic warning, and blind-spot intervention.
The GT-Line model has the technology package in the LXS model with several additions, such as LED fog lights, a navigation system, and an electronic parking brake system. It also has a power sunroof, leather-wrapped steering wheel, synthetic leather seat inserts, and LED running lights. The GT has an upgraded leather seat, seven-speed dual-clutch auto transmission, and wireless charging pads. Conversely, the GT Manual has a six-speed manual transmission and summer performance tires.
The interior of the Forte has two bucket seats for extra comfort around Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. The material used for the seats depends on the trim and customer preference. The Forte offers plenty of legroom at the back, plus about 40 cubic feet of cargo space. Access to controls like the weather and volume is easy for the driver and front-seating passenger to find and modulate.
An 8-inch infotainment system that supports smartphone integration through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is standard for the Kia Forte. Higher trim levels like the GT-Line feature a navigation system, parking brake, and cyclist collision avoidance system. The Kia Forte also has a dual-zone automatic climate control system that allows the driver to control the temperature conditions inside the vehicle at the click of a button. Higher trim levels boast ventilated and heated seats, which take comfort inside the Forte to an entirely new level.
The new Kia Forte has a stylish exterior design with LED projector headlights and tail lights that give it a modernized, aesthetically appealing look. The light system enhances visibility at night by adjusting the beam intensity when vehicles are detected approaching the Forte. Furthermore, the unique daytime running headlights ensure safety while driving in various conditions.
Roof rails enable the carrying of light materials while going out and also give it a stylish look. Different color paints are available, ensuring you can customize the Forte according to your personality and style.
The new Kia Forte uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower and 132 pounds per foot of torque. This engine transfers power to the front-wheel or all-wheel drive systems through a continuously variable transmission. However, the turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder uses a seven-speed dual-clutch auto transmission or a six-speed manual transmission to transfer the power to the drivetrain system. This engine churns out 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque.
Technologies that ease the driver's driving experience while enhancing safety have been incorporated into the new Kia Forte. This technology includes monitoring hard-to-see areas by the driver via sensors to prevent collisions and accidents. Lane changing alerts coupled with a braking system bring the Forte to hold upon detecting a possible crash with pedestrians, cyclists, or another road user.
The new Kia Forte is appealing because of its blend of technological advancements, comfort, and stylish looks.
