The 2024 Forte is a compact sedan with the looks, features, performance, and a price tag that can attract budget car shoppers anywhere in the country. The small KIA offers solid value and a taste of what it feels like to own a modern KIA. You can look at our previous article for more information on the specs and features of the latest KIA Forte. Let’s walk you through some of the top reasons you should choose the 2024 KIA Forte.

Sporty Appearance

The Forte sedan is a streamlined combination of style, features, and value. It features a sporty, modern exterior design that will make you think it’s one of those small adrenalin-pumping sedans. It sports KIA’s signature grille design, stylish headlights, and a minimalist rear end. The range-topping model adds dual exhaust tips, red accents, and more performance-inspired details to enhance the sedan’s appearance.

Spacious and Upscale Interior

The Forte’s interior is simple, elegant, and spacious. The headroom and legroom are decent, and the rear seats will fit two adult passengers seamlessly. As usual, we are impressed with KIA’s choice of materials. The automaker does its best to avoid low-rent materials and uninspiring dashboard design. You can get top-tier features like heated and ventilated front seats, an 8.0-inch touchscreen display, a wireless charger, a 10-way power driver seat, dual-zone climate control, and more. The KIA Forte also offers slightly more cargo space than its key rivals like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic.

Desirable Standard Features

Despite its low starting price, the Forte still offers a plethora of decent standard features like a 4.2-inch instrument display, automatic emergency braking, lane keeping and following technology, a 4-speaker audio system, an 8.0-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, a 6-way manual driver seat, remote keyless entry, and lots more.

Available Turbocharged Engine

By default, the 2024 Forte is powered by a 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder that puts out 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. This engine pairs exclusively with a continuously variable automatic transmission and propels the mini KIA to 60mph in a sluggish 8.2 seconds. However, the real deal is the range-topping GT model, where KIA unleashes a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that cranks out 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission featuring steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters or a six-speed manual gearbox. With the turbo-4, the Forte delivered a more impressive zero-to-60 time of 6.7 seconds. 

Exceptional Value Proposition

The Forte’s greatest asset is not its sharp sheet metal or 201-hp turbocharged engine, but the value you enjoy when you opt for it. With a starting MSRP of $19,990, the 2024 KIA Forte is one of the most affordable compact sedans you can buy in the United States.
