For an affordable, stylish, and fuel-efficient vehicle, turn to the Kia Forte. This sporty car is packed with convenient features and advanced technology to keep you safe and entertained on every journey.

The 2024 Kia Forte is available in five trims: LX, LXS, GT-Line, GT, and GT Manual.

Performance

Prepare for an exhilarating drive behind the wheel of the new Forte. The standard 2.0-liter engine gets a spirited 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. That engine works with an Intelligent Variable Transmission for ultra-smooth shifting around every corner. Every 2024 Forte comes with Drive Mode Select, letting you choose between Normal, Sport, or Smart styles of driving.

If you want even more thrills, consider the Forte GT or Forte GT Manual. Both of these models are powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine that generates 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. As their names might suggest, the transmission differ between the trims. The Forte GT has a seven-speed Dual-Clutch Auto Transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Meanwhile, the Forte GT Manual comes with a six-speed manual transmission.

Practicality

Nothing says practical like saving money, right? For the best in fuel efficiency, go with the Forte LX, which gets up to 30 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway.[1] Other Forte trims still get great fuel economy, coming in at up to 39 mpg on the highway for the LXS and GT-Line trims.[1]

The new Kia Forte is also incredibly versatile. In the trunk area, you’ll have 15.3 cubic feet of space to utilize. However, you can put the rear 60/40 split-folding seats down to adapt the cabin as needed. Speaking of the cabin, the Forte’s interior is outfitted with useful features like solar control glass to keep you cool on summer days, an available sunroof to let fresh air in, and remote keyless entry so you can keep your key fob in your pocket when entering the car.

Interior amenities

In addition to offering practical features, the cabin of the 2024 Forte is filled with various comfort and convenience amenities. This five-passenger sedan is offered with three different seat trims, from woven cloth to SynTex and a combination of the two materials. If you plan on using your new Forte as a commuter or for long road trips, be sure to add the available 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment as well as the heated and ventilated front seats.

Technologies

It’s easy to stay connected on the go when you’re driving the new Kia Forte. The standard 8-inch touch-screen display is where you’ll access your favorite compatible apps thanks to included Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. You can also connect devices via Bluetooth® wireless technology or through the USB auxiliary input jack in the center console.

When you choose the Forte GT-Line and higher trims, you’ll get a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen that’s equipped with navigation. These models also feature Kia Connect remote access and a wireless phone charger for added convenience. The top GM manual trim offers the best in music thanks to its eight-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio system with Clari-Fi™ technology and an integrated subwoofer.

Safety

Along with smart tech to keep you entertained and connected, the 2024 Forte also comes with innovative systems that help you stay safe. Standard Kia Drive Wise technologies on this Kia car include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and Rear Occupant Alert.

As you move up to higher trims, you’ll find even more comprehensive safety systems that cover areas like your blind spot, parking, and more. There’s also Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Highway Driving Assist, and Safe Exit Warning — all standard on GT-Line trims and above.
