2021 KIA Forte EX

The 2021 Forte is Kia's compact sedan, slotting between the Rio and the Optima with sharp styling and a value-focused price. It competes with the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Hyundai Elantra, offering a sportier look and a longer warranty. The Forte handles confidently, with responsive steering and a composed ride that makes daily driving genuinely enjoyable. Inside, the cabin is roomy for the class, with a large trunk and a clean, modern dashboard that uses quality materials. Standard tech includes a touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus available driver aids like forward collision warning. A larger touchscreen and standard heated front seats set the EX apart from the LXS and GT-Line trims below it. Its 2.0L I4 makes 147 horsepower and pairs with an automatic transmission for smooth, efficient commuting, earning 33 mpg combined.
