The 2024 Kia Forte presents an affordable yet well-equipped option for buyers seeking value in the small car segment. This compact sedan comes in various configurations at different price points to suit each buyer’s needs. Check out the Kia Forte at your local Kia dealer and explore its key features.

Engine and Performance

The 2024 Forte offers two 4-cylinder options: a 2.0-liter with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, or an available 1.6-liter turbocharged engine putting out 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft. The base engine prioritizes fuel efficiency over performance, with a rating of up to 41 mpg on the highway. The turbo engine delivers an energetic boost in power reserved for the top GT and GT Manual trims.

Multiple Trim Levels

The Forte comes in five trim levels: the LX, LXS, GT-Line, GT, and GT Manual. The base LX offers standard infotainment features, two front USB ports, and Kia Drive Wise safety features. Moving up, the LXS adds a few more comfort and safety features for a slightly higher cost.

The mid-level GT-Line brings more style through sporty exterior styling along with infotainment upgrades, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control. For the most performance, the GT and GT-Manual trims add the 201-hp turbo engine and performance upgrades. They come with heated front seats, sport seats, and wireless phone charging. Kia also offers a sunroof in the GT-Manual.

Interior and Comfort Features

For its compact sedan class, the 2024 Forte provides a surprisingly comfortable interior with seating for up to five passengers. Standard across all trims is cloth upholstery, with SofTex vinyl available on higher trims. Front seats come with manual adjustment on lower trims, upgrading to power seats on higher ones.

Higher trims also add extras like ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. With all seats in use, there is 15.3 cubic feet of trunk space. The rear seats can fold down in a 60/40 split to accommodate additional cargo.

Infotainment Technology

The 2024 Forte comes equipped with an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB ports. Higher trims upgrade to a 10.25-inch touchscreen with integrated navigation and SiriusXM satellite radio. A four-speaker audio system comes standard, with higher trims getting six or eight speakers. The GT-Manual trim comes with a Harman Kardon sound system.

Driver Assistance Features

The Forte offers Kia Drive Wise, a suite of advanced driver assistance features. It includes features like auto emergency braking, lane follow assist, lane keeping assist, driver attention warning, and high beam assist. Higher trims add extras like blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic collision warning, safe exit warning, and rear parking sensors.
