Iconic Design Intersects with Refined Comforts

When you step out in the 2023 Kia Forte, it puts all eyes on you with its assertively-styled exterior. Taking styling cues from the Hyundai Elantra, the GT-Line impresses the crowd with a bold front end that translates into a striking rear, with eye-catching upper and lower grills teaming up with 17-inch alloy wheels and energetic LED headlamps to form an unmistakable presence on the track.

Never have we seen a sedan with enormous space like the Kia Forte. Its interior cabin boasts a total passenger and cargo volume of 111 cubic feet, with heated and ventilated seats that ensure you and your crew travel in comfort. Thrown into the mix is a leather-appointed steering wheel that conspires with the 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat to make every moment behind the wheel a pleasure.

Technology that Sets the Pace

At the start of your adventure, the 2023 Forte makes loading your cargo and getting behind the wheel convenient with smart controls while connecting you to nature with the available voice-command navigation system. This technology works with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to sync your smartphone to a high-resolution 10.25-inch touchscreen for hands-free access to your preferred apps and media on the go.

Be Confident in Your Own Way

Keeping you and your crew safe as you navigate the busy cities of Florida is the signature Kia Drive Wise technology, a suite of advanced safety features including forward collision avoidance and adaptive cruise control. While the former enables you to avert a fender bender with timely warning signs, the latter presets your speed to that of the vehicle ahead to keep you at a safe distance.

Thoroughly Bred for Complete Dominance

Filled with determination to take you anywhere, the 2023 Kia Forte sports a naturally-aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder coupled with an intelligent variable transmission to push out 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque while earning a highway fuel economy of 39 mpg.

Models like the 2023 Kia Forte GT Manual deliver a sportier performance with a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine that pairs with a six-speed manual transmission to summon 201 horses and 195 lb-ft of torque. It also works with a front-wheel drive to offer nimble handling on tricky terrains with a mileage of 31 mpg on the highway.
