Your Guide to the 2023 Kia Forte

Trim Levels

The Forte has five main trim options this year starting with the LX and elevating to the LXS, GT-Line, GT, and GT Manual. The LXS trim upgrades the 15-inch steel wheels to 16-inch alloy wheels. The GT-Line has its own unique body styling, fog lights, and a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation. The interior also gets an upgrade with SynTex complemented with a cloth seat trim.

The GT with the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters gets an engine upgrade. The 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine is turbocharged and offers up to 201 horsepower. The GT Manual also sports this engine but comes with a six-speed manual transmission. The GT Manual trim also adds a standard sunroof, heated front seats, and red stitching accents.

Fuel Efficiency

The Forte has gained a lot of attention for its fuel efficiency. The LX trim achieves an average of 30 miles to the gallon in the city and 41 on the highway. This small sedan does a great job sipping gas while still offering excellent performance.

Advanced Safety Assist Features

Kia has equipped their small sedan with the safety assistive features that today’s drivers want, including a lane-keeping assist system. You’ll love having a rearview monitor with dynamic parking guidance when you’re trying to parallel park into a tight spot. Your automatic high beams will automatically adjust for oncoming glare. Other features include automatic emergency braking technology, a driver attention warning, and a rear occupant alert.

Infotainment System

The standard Forte comes with an eight-inch touchscreen display that’s easy to see and intuitive to use. Kia has made this even easier by adding Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This allows drivers to access all their favorite apps from their phones. It’s always easier to use apps you’re already familiar with when you get a new car.

The upper trim levels upgrade the touchscreen to a 10.25-inch model. The GT has available voice command navigation, making it easier to get reliable directions to your destination. This navigation system provides real-time highway updates on traffic. The GT comes standard with a wireless smartphone charging pad so drivers will never again need to worry about plugging their phones in.
