1. Navigation

The ’23 Forte makes it easy to find your destination with voice-command navigation. This available system responds to your vocal commands, searching for and putting turn-by-turn directions directly on the available 10.25-inch touchscreen in the center of the dash. This is perfect when you are driving, lost, and can’t find someplace to stop to input the destination manually.

2. Accessibility

Hands-free access to the cargo area is no longer just for SUVs and hatchbacks. The ’23 Forte is now available with Smart Trunk technology. This technology allows you to stand behind the sedan with your key fob. The car senses you and the key and can automatically open the trunk, so you don’t have to put the groceries on the ground to free up a hand.

3. Powertrains

The ’23 Forte comes with two available powertrain options. The first is a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that pumps 147 horsepower. The second available powertrain is a turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 201 ponies. Additionally, you can opt for a model with the available steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters if you are looking for a more exhilarating drive.

4. Forte GT

If heart-pounding sporty drives are more your style, choose the ’23 Forte GT with its sleek front bumper, redesigned headlights, and aggressive grille. The GT boasts 17-inch sport wheels and LED lights. Additionally, the GT comes with either an automatic or manual transmission. So if you are looking for a more engaging ride, you can opt for a manual transmission.

5. Fuel Economy

The ’23 Forte from Kia allows you to drive longer and pass more gas stations with its impressive fuel economy. This vehicle can get an EPA-estimated 30 mpg in the city and an incredible 41 mpg while on the highway. Of course, your fuel mileage in the Forte does change depending on which model you choose. However, every model of the ’23 Forte maintains its integrity as a fuel-efficient compact sedan.
