As one of Kia’s best-selling models, the Forte compact sedan and hatchback play a key role for the Korean brand. Situated in the highly competitive segment that contains the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, this all-new 2019 Forte has evolved into a more sophisticated car, taking design cues from the sporty Stinger. Kia says it offers a higher level of comfort and advanced driver assistance technologies for a more rewarding and decidedly upscale experience. Going on sale this later this year, the new Forte will be available in LX, S and EX trims all powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine paired to either a 6-speed manual on the base model or Kia’s all-new Continuously Variable Transmission they’re calling an IVT – the I for intelligent.
