Exterior - Kia Dealer serving Columbus OH

The exterior of the Forte is very expressive. The brand has really outdone themselves by giving you those high-end exterior lines and designs that should be priced much higher (but aren't). Kia knows how to be efficient. They know how to leave customers with the best of things without having to over-charge them. Efficiency is key. And you can see the pure, crisp efficiency in the Forte build. The GT has bold, strong 18-inch two-tone machine finish alloy wheels. It features red grille inserts for a sportier than you'd ever believe look. Gloss black side sills and a rear lip spoiler all enhance the sportiness of the GT and make it a standout in its class. You can tell that this is a model that's made to move. This year's model was inspired by the Stinger, and it shows. Choose from colors like Deep Sea Blue, Fire Orange, and Aurora Black Pearl. The Forte's new style isn't a sedan acting like a sports car. There are Forte trims that can very proudly claim to be from the sport car heritage, even if they have sedan roots and amenities on the interior.

Kia Forte Mechanical specs

Kia's commitment to the Forte is evident in the great care they took in designing its performance transmissions. You can grab a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission on your GT trim, or a three-pedal configuration with a 6-speed manual transmission. Paddle shifters are mounted onto the steering wheel for the kind of race car performance you expect from anything calling itself a GT. The highest powertrain is a 201 horsepower turbocharged engine that carefully gives you 195 lb-ft of torque. This one also comes with a Sport-Tuned dual exhaust system that's going to impress more than just you. This is the kind of build where people ask you what kind of car you're driving. Where did you buy it? How much?
