Redesigned just last year, the Kia Forte is one of the most compelling small sedans around. Much of that appeal stems from the car’s value. Even the base 2020 Forte is equipped with plenty of the latest advanced driver safety features, for instance, and the mispriced GT-Line comes with far more equipment than similarly priced sedans. At the top of the ladder is the new Forte GT, which ups the performance quotient at a lower price than other sporty small sedans.
Kia Forte models
The 2020 Kia Forte is a compact sedan available in five trim levels: FE, LXS, GT-Line, EX, and GT. All models except the GT are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (147 horsepower, 132 lb-ft of torque). A six-speed manual transmission comes with the FE. A continuously variable automatic transmission is optional for the FE and standard-issue on other trim levels with this engine.
The GT is driven by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder (201 hp, 195 lb-ft) and your choice between a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic or a six-speed manual.
