Exploring the 2024 Kia Forte: Luxury and Capability Combined

Design

The 2024 Forte’s edgy exterior is complemented by a 96.0 cubic feet cabin that’s so roomy even back-row passengers will be comfy on long road trips.The 15.3 cubic foot cargo area is also larger than you’ll find in some of the Forte’s rivals, such as the Volkswagen Jetta. Materials used throughout the cabin are of high quality, and even the base models have remarkable standard safety, entertainment, and convenience features.

For instance, driving at night has never been easier than with the Forte’s projector beam headlights. They offer enhanced illumination so obstacles ahead are clearly visible. Also, ​solar control glass has been installed on the windshield and front windows. This helps keep the cabin cool by reducing heat build-up on sunny days.

Performance

A 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine delivering 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque is standard on the line’s lower trim level. The fuel economy is impressive, with an estimated 30 mpg on city streets and 41 mpg on highways. All 2024 Fortes are front-wheel drive and come with Hill-Start Assist Control. Drive Mode Select offers you a choice of three driving modes: Normal, Sport, and Smart.

There’s no question that the line’s lower trim levels provide excellent value. However, the higher trims are also a great bargain, offering the thrilling experience you hope to find in the best sports cars. A turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque is standard on the two highest GT trims. You’ll also get a sport-tuned exhaust system and a choice of a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed Dual-Clutch Automatic Transmission with Paddle Shifters.

Technology

The Forte’s lowest LX trim comes with a 4-speaker audio system and an infotainment system featuring an 8-inch touchscreen display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, plus Bluetooth provides wireless hands-free access to your phone, so you can safely enjoy all your favorite music, maps, and other content. A USB charging port and a USB auxiliary audio input port are both found in the front row.

Safety

Kia has installed the same kind of driver’s aid and safety features in the 2024 Forte that you’d find in far more expensive luxury vehicles, such as:

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