Here is the New 2023 Kia Forte

The 2023 Kia Forte is a compact sedan that knows how to offer you more for your money. Here is how it does that.

More space

The 2023 Kia Forte is a very spacious sedan despite its compact exterior dimensions. This means that it is more comfortable and practical than its competitors while also being easy to park and maneuver around town. The trunk of the Forte is very capacious, with up to 433 litres of space that can be used to transport a family’s luggage with ease. If more space is required, such as when carrying skis or other long items, the rear seat can be folded in a 60/40 split that still allows one or two passengers to be seated. Speaking of which, rear-seat passengers will appreciate the extra leg and headroom that are found in the Forte compared to its competitors.

More power

The 2023 Kia Forte also gives you more available power than many of its competitors, even some of the performance-branded models. Standard is a very efficient 2.0L engine that makes 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, but available on the GT-Limited model is the turbocharged 1.6L unit that delivers 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque to the road via a quick-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This combination makes the Forte GT-Limited into a dynamic little sedan that is more fun to drive than you might have thought.

More features

Kia has long been known to give you more features for your money and this still stands true with the 2023 Forte. Despite being one of the least expensive models in its category, the Forte comes standard with many features that are optional on competitors, such as heated front seats, cruise control, and an 8-inch touchscreen. Moving up to higher trim levels also adds features that can’t even be ordered on most other compact sedans, such as ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a 10,25-inch touch screen, a 7-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, and Highway Driving Assist.
