Why it stands out

The 2017 Kia Forte remains a strong contender in the competitive compact sedan segment thanks to its stylish redesign and practical improvements. Notably, the exterior gains a fresh look with updated front and rear lights that enhance its aesthetic appeal. Under the hood, a new 2.0-liter engine provides a balanced mix of power and efficiency, boasting an estimated 29 mpg in the city and 38 on the highway. This version of the Forte also emphasizes comfort and space, offering a generous interior and trunk capacity that surpass competitors like the Honda Civic and Ford Focus. While the sporty trims may offer a more engaging driving experience, some drivers might find the stiffer suspension less forgiving on uneven surfaces. Nevertheless, for those prioritizing reliability, affordability, and a well-rounded set of features, the 2017 Kia Forte is an appealing choice.
