Performance
The Kia Forte draws internal motivation from a standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. An Intelligent Variable Transmission sends power to the front wheels while optimizing efficiency and responsiveness.
Do you want something more engaging to enliven your Princeton commute? The Kia Forte's top-tier GT trim upgrades the driving experience to match its sharp styling. Under the hood, a peppy 1.6-liter turbo-four makes 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, while the sport-tuned suspension delivers more agile handling. A quick-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is standard. However, a six-speed manual transmission is available if you prefer a more hands-on experience. The GT Manual trim also adds grippy Michelin® Pilot® Sport 4 summer performance tires.
Accommodations
The Kia Forte's cabin is open and inviting, with modern styling, cozy seats, and ample room for passengers in either row. It also offers great practicality for a compact car, with multiple small-item storage options and a large center console. The Forte boasts one of the segment's most voluminous trunks, with 15.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity and 60/40 split-folding rear seats.
The available hands-free trunk lid makes it easy to access the cargo area when your arms are full. Other available amenities include:
