2023 KIA FORTE
The 2023 Kia Forte offers high fuel efficiency with above-average utility in a small sedan. Whether you want a daily commuter or a small sedan for your family car, the Forte has you covered. Here are the top features of the 2023 Kia Forte that have drivers everywhere talking about it.
TRIM LEVELS (EXTERIOR)
The 2023 Kia Forte currently comes in the following five trim levels: LX, LXS, GT-Line, GT, and GT Manual. The LX features 15-inch steel wheels with covers, while the LXS has 16-inch alloy wheels. You also get daytime running lights on the LX and LXS. Each GT trim has a rear spoiler, smart trunk, exclusive GT body styling, and heated exterior mirrors with integrated LED turn signals. On the GT, you get dual-exhaust tips and 18-inch wheels. The GT Manual adds a sunroof for a unique open-air driving experience.
ENGINE (POWER)
The engine you get in your Kia Forte depends on the year and trim level you choose. For instance, on the current LX, LXS, and GT-Line, you'll find a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine paired with an intelligent variable transmission. This combination produces 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. The GT and GT Manual feature a 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder for 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. The GT pairs this engine with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters, while the GT Manual has a six-speed manual transmission.
PERFORMANCE
Performance-enhancing features improve the overall driving experience in the Kia Forte. Front-wheel drive is standard across all five current trims for a seamless drive. The Forte's fuel economy is great, though it varies based on the year, engine, and trim level you choose. For example, you may enjoy up to 41 mpg on the highway. The four-wheel anti-lock braking system gives you the stopping power to keep you safe on the road. The GT and GT Manual provide a sportier feel with the sport-tuned dual-exhaust system, making it even more fun to cruise down the road in your Forte.
INTERIOR
Slide inside the Kia Forte to find a cabin designed with your convenience and comfort in mind. Starting with the LX and LXS, you may get wireless phone connectivity, a USB port, a four-speaker sound system, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The GT-Line adds more USB ports, alloy sport pedals, a six-speaker stereo, and a bigger touchscreen with navigation and Kia Connect. You may also get a rear air vent, rear USB port, and wireless phone charging on the GT. Finally, the GT Manual features SynTex upholstery, LED interior lighting, and heated front sports seats.
SAFETY FEATURES
Safety is a top concern for many drivers when searching for a vehicle, so the Kia Forte offers many safety and driver-assist features. Standard features for all trims include an advanced airbag system, forward collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, driver attention warning, and lane-following assist. You may also get a rearview monitor with dynamic parking guidance and a rear occupant alert. Higher trims typically offer adaptive cruise control, safe exit warning, highway driving assist, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear park distance warning.
