With a fresh new front and rear design, sporty appearance, new performance options, high-tech driver assistance, and an extremely efficient non-hybrid version, the 2022 Kia Forte shows up strong in all the areas Missouri drivers are looking for.
Even though this is technically a compact sedan, the Forte’s cabin is roomy, and the back seat can host two adults while offering extreme comfort, with room for three if need be. Every 2022 Forte comes standard with front-wheel drive, disc brakes, electric power-assist steering, power windows, steering-wheel mounted audio controls, and remote keyless entry. After that, the performance range divides into the FE, LX, LXS, and top-of-the-line GT model.
The FE, LXS, and GT-line all come with the punchy power source under the hood in the form of the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, paired nicely with an automatic transmission. The GT and GT MT feature a more powerful 1.6-liter turbocharged engine instead, which is paired with either a 6-speed manual that we are extremely excited about, or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. We know that during this summer, gas efficiency is a concern on everyone's minds, and the Kia Forte FE is the fuel efficiency champ of the lineup.
You'll also be enjoying standard equipment such as an 8-inch touchscreen center display with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, two useful 12 Volt power outlets, cruise control, and USB multimedia. The LXS adds to the stellar equipment list with 60/40 split folding rear seats, an amazing soft-touch dash, upper door panels, and ready-to-take on urban terrain 16-inch alloy wheels.
Whether you are just getting through the workweek’s driving or shuttling the family around, the available access technology package also adds blind spot collision avoidance, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance, heated outside mirrors, and safe exit warning.
The 2022 Kia Forte GT line starts at an amazingly low price for the great features it offers. With this model, you’ll be cruising with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights and fog lights, door handle pocket lighting for the front doors, gloss black exterior, the GT line signature emblem, alloy sport pedals, and a wide range of upgrades for the interior, and it doesn’t end there! The GT2 package gives you a power sunroof, 10-way adjustable power driver seat, heated ventilated front seats, Centex seating material, and a 320-Watt Harman Kardon 8 speaker audio system.
