For 2026, Kia's biggest move is the addition of an all-new hatchback body style alongside the existing sedan. This new hatchback option gives buyers even more flexibility, and is only about 11 inches shorter than the sedan. Aside from the roof and body panels behind the C-pillars, the two models are essentially identical mechanically.

Keep reading to learn why we say the Kia Forte is a reliable car. Pros of Owning A Kia Forte The Kia Forte is a compact sedan that has made a name for itself by providing a stylish exterior, comfortable interior, and a host of modern features. It boasts a sleek and aerodynamic design, making it an appealing option for those seeking a compact car with an upscale appearance. The Forte offers a spacious cabin, user-friendly technology interfaces, and a smooth driving experience. Below we have listed the top three reasons why the Kia Forte is a reliable car. Attractive Price Point The Kia Forte is renowned for its affordability, making it an appealing option for budget-conscious buyers. It provides excellent value for money, considering the features and quality it offers compared to its competitors in the compact car segment. Generous Warranty Kia is known for its impressive warranty coverage, and the Forte is no exception. It comes with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, providing owners with peace of mind.

Cons of Owning A Kia Forte We want your business as much as the next car dealership, but we also pride ourselves on our transparency. Below we have listed the top two reasons a Kia Forte might not be the perfect match for you. Average Fuel Efficiency While the Kia Forte delivers respectable fuel economy, it falls short compared to some of its rivals in the compact car segment. It offers an average gas mileage of around 30 MPG in combined city and highway driving, which may not be as impressive as some competitors' hybrid or electric alternatives. Less Engaging Driving Experience While the Forte provides a smooth and comfortable ride, it may not deliver the same level of driving dynamics or sportiness as some of its competitors. The steering and handling can feel slightly detached, which might be a drawback for those seeking a more engaging driving experience. Kia Forte Gas Mileage The Kia Forte's fuel efficiency is a mixed bag. The base model equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine achieves an EPA-estimated 31 MPG in the city and 41 MPG on the highway, which is commendable for daily commuting. However, the more powerful turbocharged 1.6-liter engine in higher trims reduces the gas mileage slightly to around 27 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the highway. While not class-leading, the Forte's fuel economy remains competitive within its segment. Maintenance Costs of The Kia Forte One of the significant advantages of owning a Kia Forte is its affordable maintenance costs. Kia vehicles, including the Forte, are generally known for their reliability and durability. Routine maintenance tasks such as oil changes, filter replacements, and tire rotations are relatively inexpensive. Additionally, Kia's warranty coverage helps minimize unexpected repair costs, providing peace of mind throughout the ownership experience. Overall Price/Value Of The Kia Forte When it comes to price and value, the Kia Forte shines. With a starting price below many competitors in the compact car segment, the Forte offers exceptional value for the features it provides. Its well-designed interior, modern technology, and extensive warranty coverage make it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable and affordable vehicle. While no car is perfect, the Kia Forte stands out as a reliable choice in the compact car category. With its affordable price, generous warranty, comfortable interior, and commendable fuel efficiency, the Forte offers a compelling package for potential buyers. Kia Forte For Sale at Lawton Kia Despite its average fuel economy and slightly less engaging driving experience, the Forte compensates with its affordable maintenance costs and overall value. Kia's reputation for reliability, coupled with the extensive warranty coverage, adds a layer of reassurance for owners. Ultimately, the decision to purchase a Kia Forte comes down to personal preferences and priorities. If you prioritize affordability, comfort, and a solid warranty, the Forte is worth considering. However, if fuel efficiency or sporty driving dynamics are at the top of your list, you may want to explore other vehicles made by Kia. Check out the new 2023 Kia Forte at Lawton Kia.

Climate control features have also been added and include heated/ventilated front seating and dual zone climate controls. Cargo in the 2021 Forte is also a strong competitor in its class. It beats other popular vehicles with the ability to hold up to seven carry-on bags with all the back seats down. Fuel Economy & Real-World MPG While the stronger and faster 2-liter option is plenty efficient on the streets, Kia’s 1.6-liter base model excels in ensuring gas station visits are a thing of the past. With a highway rating of 40mpg and 33mpg combined, the Forte is a strong contender in the fuel economy world. The GT trim on the other hand holds up at about 30mpg for combined. In a 200-mile highway fuel-economy test, the 2019 K4 registered 41 mpg, coming out just above the EPA rating. Safety & Driver Assistance The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the 2021 Kia K4 4 out of 5 stars. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) also named it a Top Safety Pick+ for 2021. While many car brands don’t offer newer, modern safety features with the base model, Kia offers a list of features. These features include standard-forward collision with automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning with steering assistance, and adaptable cruise control. Our Final Thought All in all, Kia’s new 2021 Kia Forte excels in one specific area, giving you a value for your money. Plenty of safety features have been integrated into even the base model. You can expect for a safe and smooth ride regardless of which trim you get. The interior is stylish, minimalist, and offers plenty of space that a premium sedan would carry. Upgraded and turbocharged engines are also an option for those who need more guts in their daily driver as well. When it comes to the features you get for a price tag that is thousands of dollars lower than its competitors. Contact Lawton Kia For Your 2021 K ia Today Ready to upgrade your SUV experience?

Lawton Kia loves the new 2019 Forte! The 2019 Forte is a modest, yet modern car that must compete year after year with the hamster loving Soul and sporty Stinger, so you wouldn’t expect it to do as well as it does. Last year, the Forte was purchased more than any other Kia and is known to attract more first-time car buyers. Safe & Efficient The 2019 Forte is extremely safe and efficient with an EPA-estimated 31 city mpg and 41 highway mpg thanks to the Intelligent Variable Transmission that makes for a smooth and comfortable ride. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine resulting in 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft is returning with a new cooled EGR system to improve efficiency in the 2019 Kia Forte. The new Forte’s windows have even been upgraded to decrease vibration, and harsh curb noise thanks to thicker glass. Tracking System Kia has even splurged on their own tracking system so you never lose your car again! The UVO eService records the location of your Forte from a compatible smartphone app with options to share the location or receive parking meter reminders. You can view Trip Info that tracks your monthly driving habits like how long it takes you to get from point A to point B so that you can choose different routes if needed. There’s also the ability to set maintenance info into the app, keep track of your service appointments, and even schedule a dealership visit at your local Lawton Kia Service Department! The 2019 Forte is not lacking in features inside or out! The sleek lines of the Stinger can be seen on the Forte exterior, along with LED Daytime Running Lights and High Beam Assist, while Kia’s 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto graces the interior.
