The Performance-Inspired 2021 Forte
Compact models sometimes have a reputation for a less-than-stirring performance. With the 2021 Forte GT trim, that couldn’t be further from the truth. This performance-inspired trim level runs on a turbocharged heart: a 1.6L turbo 4-cylinder engine that mates with one of two transmissions:
- 7-speed Dual-Clutch Automatic Transmission (DCT)—Control your shifts with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters or automatic shift points and drive more efficiently.
- 6-speed Manual Transmission—Take back control and enjoy sportier 3-pedal driving.
No matter which transmission you choose, that turbo engine cranks out a sprightly 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. As you shake up the roads and enjoy your drive, the sport-tuned dual exhaust offers a throaty growl and looks sleek from behind!
Stinger-Inspired Style: Exterior Design
The Kia Forte takes its cues from an even more iconic model in the lineup: the Kia Stinger sports car. It’s not just the sport-tuned GT trim engine, but also the appearance of this Kia car that promotes its performance.
The Forte shows a bold face to the world with the classic Kia tiger-nose grille. On the Forte GT trim, that grille features red inserts for a more heated appearance. Meanwhile, the available 17-inch wheels and contours of this Kia car lend your drive the look of poetry in motion—and we love to see it!
Leave a striking impression on those whose paths you cross with available LED headlights and taillights. The ones up front can feature High Beam Assist (HBA) and automatically adjust brightness, so you won’t blind any oncoming drivers.
2021 Kia Forte: A Comfortable Interior
From ample rear head- and legroom to the available heated and cooled front seats, the 2021 Forte has a lot of natural strengths in the cabin. Choose your seat and slide inside: The experience will be well worth it.
The driver has the best seat in the house, complete with an available 10-way power-adjustable seat. The power lumbar support feature gives the driver some much needed back support for the longest journeys. Adjust on the go, too, since you know as well as we do that the perfect position is always changing.
Whether it’s the middle of July or the dead of winter, a custom climate in your Kia will keep you happy. The available Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control hands the climate controls over to the driver and front passenger, who can adjust their own zones independently of each other.
