The KIA Forte is a compact sedan with a sporty look. This model offers some upscale amenities and plenty of room for passengers with extra space for cargo.

The KIA Forte was first produced in 2008 with several variations throughout its production, such as two-door coupe, four-door sedan, and five-door hatchback. Most of the models you’ll find available for sale are those produced after the redesign in 2014.
The Redesigned KIA Forte
The 2014 KIA Forte was more refined after the redesign. Updates allowed this sedan to be one of the most comfortable models in the compact class. The cabin was spacious and quiet with quite a few extra amenities, such as cruise control and keyless entry. The 2015 models improved fuel economy while heated mirrors were standard for the 2016 model.
A second redesign occurred for the 2019 model year. One of the big improvements was in fuel economy once again. This updated model offered responsive handling, though the ride might be stiffer than some drivers want. Automatic climate control was included with a simple infotainment system that’s easy to use. The 2019 KIA Forte came loaded with standard safety features, including:
- Forward Collision Warning
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Keeping Assist
Updates for 2020 created a sportier version of the Forte with a turbocharged engine. Updated style drew attention to the 2022 model with a new infotainment system. Forward collision detection with pedestrian detection was standard.
The Current Model
If you love the KIA Forte, you’ll want to get the 2024 model or earlier because KIA ended production of the model and replaced it with the K4. This model continues to offer excellent fuel economy, well above 30 mpg. The 2024 Forte takes corners easily with responsive handling and precision. The infotainment system is still user-friendly and provides the information and entertainment you need. You can choose the GT trim if you want a sportier look and a turbo engine for sportier performance.
You have five trims to choose from: LX, LXS, GT-Line, GT, and GT Manual. The standard engine for the 2024 model is a 2.0L four-cylinder engine with an Intelligent Variable Transmission. The GT trim features a 1.6L turbocharged engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters. You can also choose a six-speed manual transmission model.
