2021 Kia Forte

One look at the gorgeous Kia Forte will make it seem as though this compact sedan is a performance-oriented vehicle. However, the reality is that this car showcases far more as a value oriented product than a performance-based one. Despite being less priced than the likes of the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, and the Mazda 3, it provides features that are at par. Expect this to be a great car for cruising on the highway.

Trim Available:

Kia offers a total of six trim levels for the 2021 Forte. These are named as follows:

  • LXS
  • GT-Line
  • GT Manual
  • FE
  • EX
  • GT

The GT is a sporty and powerful model and would be a great choice for many customers. It not only comes with more interior and exterior features, but also sports a more powerful engine.

Exterior Appearance:

Exterior styling elements on the 2021 Forte have been clearly inspired from the more radical-looking Stinger. It gets a tiger-nose front grille and a sporty front fascia; different trims run on 15-inch steel wheels, 17-inch graphite and machine finish alloy wheels, and 18-inch GT alloy wheels. Chrome finish can be seen around the grille. A glossy black finish can be noticed on the lower front fascia, with the vehicle presenting an aggressive look.

On the side, the vehicle looks good with its tires and alloy wheels. The sides do not bulge too much, making the design look simple and ergonomic. At the rear, a mesh-like appearance can be seen behind the single exhaust outlet. The simple and good looking taillights on this car run from one side to the other. Overall, the exterior features that have been accommodated as per the Forte’s pricing are pretty good.

Engine Specifications:

Customers will see two engine options for the 2021 Kia Forte. Amongst these, the first is a 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder engine that generates 147 hp of power and 132 lbs.-ft of torque. This engine has related to a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). Compared to this, the other engine is more powerful. This is a 1.6 liter turbocharged powertrain which can produce 201 hp of power and 195 lbs.-ft of torque. It also comes with a sport-tuned dual exhaust system (GT variants).
