Compact Efficiency: The 2024 Kia Forte

Finding affordable small cars is a lot more difficult these days since automobile manufacturers are catering mostly to the high demand for full-sized pickups and SUVs. The selection is even smaller if you’d prefer a dash of style mixed in with comfort and convenience. Fortunately, the 2024 Kia Forte is a compact sporty-looking sedan with lots of standard features efficiently packed into even the remarkably budget-friendly base model.

Compact Efficiency: The 2024 Kia Forte

Design

The Kia Forte’s snappy styling is complemented by a cabin roomy enough that even back-seat passengers can enjoy long rides. It’s furnished with high-quality materials and filled with an impressive number of features that are standard from the bottom LX trim on up. Kia also adds extra thoughtful elements, including projector beam headlights with enhanced illumination to make night driving so much easier. Plus, the 2024 Forte’s cargo area is far more generous than you’ll find in comparable models. So not only do you have all you’ll need for zipping around town, but for road trips, as well.

Performance

A 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine is standard in the Forte’s lower trims. It delivers 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque. Fuel efficiency is excellent, you’ll get 30 mpg driving in the city and 41 mpg on highways. The entire line is front-wheel drive with Hill-Start Assist Control. Drive Mode Select offers three modes: Normal, Sport, and Smart.Although the lower trims offer incredible value, it’s worth noting that the upper-level models provide all the thrills of a potent sports car at bargain prices. For instance, the top two GT trims have 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engines with 201 hp, 195 lb-ft of torque, and a sport-tuned dual exhaust system. You can choose either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

Technology

The 2024 Forte base model has a four-speaker audio system. An 8-inch touchscreen display is the centerpiece of an infotainment system that includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Wireless Bluetooth technology allows hands-free access to your smartphone so you can safely and easily access all your favorite maps, apps, and other content. There is one USB and auxiliary audio input port in front as well as one USB charging port.

Safety

Kia provides even the 2024 Forte’s base model with a generous number of important safety features, including:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane-Keeping Assist
• Lane Following Assist
• Driver Attention Warning
• Rearview Monitor with Dynamic Parking Guidance
