2019 KIA Forte GT-Line

The Forte is Kia's compact sedan, the one that goes up against the Corolla and Civic with a lower price and a longer warranty. It's a pleasant commuter that handles tidy corners with confidence, though it's not going to light your hair on fire. The cabin is roomier than you'd expect from a compact, with a huge trunk and rear seats that fold down for extra cargo. Standard tech includes a touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a suite of driver aids like forward collision warning. The GT Line is the sporty-looking pick for shoppers who want the style of the Forte GT without the extra cost, while the EX adds more luxury features. Under the hood is a 2.0L I4 making 147 horsepower, paired with a automatic transmission and front-wheel drive that returns 34 mpg combined.
