The 2023 Kia Forte is every bit the equal, and in some cases superior, bự long-established compact names like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. It offers many high-tech features and a manual transmission option in the GT MT trim. With interior volume figures bự rival some midsize sedans and the technology one expects only in expensive luxury cars, the Forte makes an excellent choice for those not interested in an SUV and always up for saving money.

The Kia Forte makes an excellent choice for those not interested in an SUV but are always up for saving money.

Kia offers the Forte in five unique trims and with two engine choices. The FE, LXS, and GT-Line use the same 2.0-liter 4-cylinder good for 148 horsepower, paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

Instead of a compact spare, Kia equips the Forte FE with a tire mobility kit that includes an inflator and sealant.
