Compact Efficiency: The 2024 Kia Forte

If you want a comfortable, affordable car with plenty of style and convenience in a small footprint, there’s no better option than the 2024 Kia Forte. Even the incredibly budget-friendly base model of this sporty compact sedan lineup is filled with enough standard features for enjoyable daily commuting or family vacations on the road.

Design

The 2024 Forte’s chic exterior is complemented by a roomy interior filled with many high-quality materials and an impressive selection of standard features. Even the LX base model has updated safety and entertainment features. Helpful touches include the enhanced illumination of projector beam headlights, which make night driving less stressful by making it easier to spot obstacles ahead of you on the road.

The Kia’s ample cargo space is also convenient for long journeys. So you’re not missing anything necessary for zipping around in city traffic or heading out on family road trips.

Performance

A 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that provides 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque is standard on the 2024 Forte’s three lowest trim levels. It’s paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) and offers three driving modes from which you can choose: Normal, Sport, or Smart. Front-wheel drive and Hill Start Assist Control are also standard. The Forte’s fuel efficiency is excellent, averaging an estimated 30 mpg on city streets and 41 mpg on highways.

The two top GT trims come with a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine delivering 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, plus either a six-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters. A sport-tuned dual exhaust system is also standard on those trims. It must be mentioned that part of the Kia Forte’s exceptional value is the standard powertrain warranty. It’s even better than what’s offered by many expensive luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

Technology

Standard technology features on the 2024 Forte’s base model include a 4.2-inch Instrument Display and a 4-speaker sound system. An 8-inch color touchscreen display anchors the infotainment system, which offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Safely access all your favorite content, including music, maps, apps, and more using hands-free integration with your smartphone via wireless Bluetooth connectivity. A USB charging port and auxiliary audio input jack are found in front. Download the Kia Access app to schedule maintenance reminders and more.

Safety

Kia has installed an impressive selection of standard safety and driver’s aid features throughout the 2024 Forte’s entire lineup. Even its lowest LX base model offers the following:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane Following Assist
• Lane Keeping Assist
• Driver Attention Warning
• Rearview Monitor with Dynamic Parking Guidance
