Kia Forte Design, Materials, and Performance
Kia Forte Cabin and Trunk Space
Many drivers of compact sedans are using them for commutes and everyday tasks, and the 2019 Kia Forte is a fantastic choice if that's your plan for it. You can use it for carpooling as there is plenty of open space in each row, including over 42 inches of legroom for the front, and the 15.3-cubic foot trunk holds groceries, golf clubs, or really whatever you need. Long drives or short ones, the Forte has a functional cabin that all are sure to enjoy.
Kia Forte Cabin Materials and Amenities
Chelmsford car shoppers will notice there are several available cabin materials, but each of them is stylish and of high quality. Cloth seats come standard, but you can find leatherette trim in a variety of colors in the highest trim level, and the steering wheel and gear shifter are also available with a leather wrapping. There are also conveniently located cupholders, storage spaces for mobile devices, and LED lighting to help you see door handles and more in the cabin.
Kia Forte Performance and Efficiency
There is only one engine option, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, but you can choose between a 6-speed manual transmission or continuously variable transmission (CVT), which delivers up to an EPA-estimated 41 mpg on the highway. Either way, drivers can expect a sporty drive with agile handling as the lightweight design aids the 147-horsepower engine with acceleration and braking. Mixing performance and efficiency isn't easy, but the Kia Forte pulls it off effortlessly.
New Kia Forte Equipment and Features
Kia Forte Convenience Features
Keeping hassles out of your drives is another way that the Kia Forte stands out to many that visit our Lowell car lot to view it, and it does this with the help of various features. Some of these aid before you're behind the wheel, like the available Smart Trunk™ and Perimeter Approach Lighting, while others keep you cozy, like heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and multi-way adjustment for the seats. Wherever you're headed, the new Forte ensures you do so relaxed and comfortable.
Kia Forte Safety
Safety is important to any car shopper, and the Kia Forte has the features and build to impress anyone. Side-impact door beams, front and rear crumple zones, and airbags throughout the cabin will aid those involved in an accident, but it's the high-tech safety systems that catch most car shoppers attention. Alerts for forward collisions, lane departures, and the driver's attention come standard in every model while other features, like blind spot collision warning, are standard in the higher trims. You'll know all about your surroundings when these are acting as another set of eyes on the road, so you might be able to maneuver away from a potential crash.
Kia Forte Trim Levels
As you can see from the listings on this page, we have several trim levels of the Forte for sale at our dealership, and while lots of the aspects and features above come in each, car shoppers will notice a smattering of differences among them. See below about which of the trims fits you!
Kia Forte FE
The base model has the same stylish look, versatile cabin, and impressive engine as the rest, and even with the lowest starting price features from dual-zone climate control to Apple CarPlay to Lane Keeping Assist come standard. If you're looking to spend the least while still getting a wonderful suite of features, this trim may be for you, and it's the only one that offers the 6-speed manual transmission that we know many love.
Kia Forte LXS
While not jumping up much in starting price, this trim adds on to the sedan in many ways, and it comes standard with the smart CVT. Other additions range from exterior accents like larger wheels and a chrome exhaust tip to features like Drive Mode Select and 60/40 split folding rear seats that will allow you transport longer items than the trunk can hold.
Kia Forte S
You'll notice right away that this trim has several material upgrades, like the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, soft-touch door panels, and premium cloth seats, as well as more cupholders and a seat-back pocket. Voice control for the infotainment system, additional tweeter speakers, LED lighting, and the option to add several safety features also come with this trim.
Kia Forte EX
The highest trim level comes with the leatherette seating and chrome window molding to hint at its luxurious ride. That luxurious ride also comes thanks to the best feature package of the bunch as the Smart Trunk, heated outside mirrors, windshield wiper de-icer, Blind Spot Collision Warning, and more come standard.
