The all-new 2014 Kia Forte reveals a stunning European design-inspired sedan. Sitting on an all-new chassis that is longer, wider and lower than the previous-generation Forte, the all-new third-generation Forte offers more room, performance and amenities.
The Forte LX features a 1.8-liter powerplant, while the Forte EX comes standard with a 2.0-liter engine. With 148 horsepower and 131 lb.-ft. of torque, the 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine routes power to the front wheels through either a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed automatic gearbox.
Forte EX enhances the driving experience with a 173-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder GDI engine. With a robust 154 lb.-ft. of torque, the EX comes standard with a six-speed automatic.
Dramatically swept headlight lenses cut deeply into the front fenders and incorporate projector headlamps. Gentle sculpting along the Forte's lower flanks taper the sheet metal inward, affording the car a taut, nimble appearance without diminishing its road presence.
The driver-centric cabin is canted 10 degrees and features high-quality materials and soft touch points. Large, easy-to-read instruments dominate the binnacle, and secondary controls fall easily to hand. Tasteful chrome bezels ring the HVAC rotary knobs and the optional push-button start.
The new optional Flex Steer system allows the driver to choose between three distinct steering profiles: Comfort, Normal and Sport. Features in the Premium Package include heated front and rear seats, a 10-way power adjustable driver's seat with class-exclusive air-cooled ventilation, leather seat trim, power sunroof, 17-inch alloy wheels and push button start with Smart Key and a heated steering wheel.
