5 reasons to buy the 2022 Kia Forte
1. A pulse-pounding GT trim
The 2022 Kia Forte GT combines a turbocharged engine and sport-tuned suspension to give you confidence-inspiring traction and performance. Making 201 hp, the 2022 Kia Forte GT also features a quick-shifting, seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and flappy paddle shifters. Fans of a manual transmission will enjoy the optional six-speed manual, which brings engagement to the maximum level. Finally, a sport-tuned exhaust, unique body styling, and a rear spoiler round out this performance-themed trim.
2. An impressive selection of technology
Whether you're into the latest smartphone integrations or getting immersed in high-fidelity audio, the 2022 Kia Forte has your tech wish list covered. A sizeable 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation and smartphone integration is standard in GT-Line and GT models. The 2022 Kia Forte FE and LXS trim get wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. Look out for the available 320-watt, eight-speaker Harman Kardon™ premium sound system on the GT-Line or GT for a realistic, concert-like experience.
3. Surprising interior space
Getting a compact car doesn't mean losing out on usable space you need to bring along a small family or some friends. The 2022 Kia Forte has 96 cu-ft of passenger volume, which includes 35.7 inches of legroom in the rear seat. When bringing luggage for your next road trip, the 15.3 cu-ft of trunk space swallows up whatever items you have. And 60/40 split-folding rear seats create a flexible storage space for longer items.
4. Visit the pumps less often
Depending on the trim and engine configuration, the 2022 Kia Forte can be a fuel-sipping commuter car in town and on the highway. The best EPA-estimated fuel economy is from a 2022 Kia Forte FE, with a 2L four-cylinder and CVT, at an estimated 31 mpg city and 41 mpg highway.
5. Very well-equipped base-model
From a suite of driver aids to a selection of in-demand infotainment features, the 2022 Kia Forte FE packs many features, including many on your wish list. You'll get cloth seats, an eight-inch infotainment system, and wireless smartphone integration. Popular driver assists like forward collision avoidance, lane-keep assist, lane-follow assist, and automatic high beams are also standard. The 2022 Kia Forte FE is a well-equipped starting point for any car buyer.
