Why it stands out

The 2023 Kia Forte is a compelling option in the competitive compact sedan market, offering excellent value for money without significant compromises. It features a stylish exterior, especially with the addition of sporty GT trims, which elevate its aesthetic appeal. Under the hood, buyers can choose between a base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a more powerful 1.6-liter turbocharged option, ensuring versatility for a variety of driving preferences. While the base engine may feel underwhelming for some driving enthusiasts, it remains adequate for everyday use, especially with the GT trim’s sport-tuned features improving performance significantly. The interior, although a blend of older and newer design cues, is appreciated for its comfort and usability, with a layout that enhances driver accessibility. Although crash test scores are lower than average, the Forte compensates with a comprehensive list of standard safety features, making it a smart choice for budget-conscious buyers looking for both safety and style.
