If you’re looking for an affordable small car for zipping around city traffic but refuse to compromise on style or comfort, the 2024 Kia Forte may be exactly what you need. Even the amazingly budget-friendly base model has numerous standard features that can make daily commutes and family road trips more enjoyable.
Design
The 2024 Forte has a stylish exterior complemented by a spacious interior packed with quality materials and an extensive selection of standard features. Refreshed safety and entertainment technology abounds even in the base model. Projector beam headlights relieve the stress of driving at night with enhanced illumination to make obstacles on the road ahead easier to spot.
The ample cargo area accommodates everyone’s bags, making it ideal for longer journeys. Enjoy the benefits of a compact car for navigating city traffic, without compromising on the space your family needs for vacation essentials.
Performance
A 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine providing 167 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque powers the 2024 Forte’s three lower trims. It’s paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) that offers three driving modes: Normal, Sport, or Smart. Front-wheel drive and Hill-Start Assist Control are also standard. The Forte has excellent fuel efficiency, estimated to average 30 mpg on city streets and 41 mpg on highways.
The top two GT trim levels have standard 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engines delivering 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. You have a choice of a six-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters. A Sport-Tuned Dual Exhaust is also standard. Kia’s standard powertrain warranty adds extraordinary value to the purchase of any model. It’s even better than those offered by expensive luxury automobiles such as Mercedes Benz or BMW.
Technology
The 2024 Forte’s lowest trim has a standard 4-speaker audio system and a 4.2-inch Instrument Display. An 8-inch color touchscreen display anchors the infotainment system, which features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Wireless Bluetooth connectivity offers hands-free integration with your smartphone so you can safely access all your favorite content, including music, apps, maps, and more. The front row has an auxiliary audio input jack and a USB charging port. Download the Kia Access app to schedule maintenance reminders and more.

- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Following Assist
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Driver Attention Warning
