2011 Kia Forte SX Trim Overview

A 2.4-liter engine in the SX trim provides 17 extra horses and 24 additional lb-ft of torque over the 2.0-liter engine in the lower trims of the 2011 Kia Forte. You’ll still get your choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions, but here the automatic comes with a manual shift gate. The multi-function steering wheel is leather-wrapped and comes with tilt and telescoping ability in addition to housing controls for the satellite-ready CD/MP3 player. You’ll get a USB port and digital media connection, as well as Bluetooth. Automatic headlights are complemented by fog lights, and handling is improved thanks to a sport suspension and 17-inch alloys. Here the power package includes windows, doors and mirrors with turn signals, as well as remote keyless entry. There’s air conditioning, cruise control, a tachometer and trip computer. Front bucket and split-folding rear seats are still clad in cloth here. An extensive safety package includes traction and stability control, 4-wheel assisted antilock disc brakes, front-seat active head restraints and 6 standard airbags.
