When looking for your next Kia, you don’t just want another ride around town—you’re looking for an experience. The best way to ensure you’ll get the performance you crave is to take a look at engine specs.
While both vehicles provide options, the Forte outperforms the Corolla.
Kia Forte engines:
- 2.0L 4-cylinder - 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque
- 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder - 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque

As you journey around, enjoying your ride’s perky motor, you’ll stay nice and cozy thanks to available heated front seats in the 2022 Kia Forte and the Toyota Corolla.
While these features will make winter drives more pleasant, once the summer sun peeks out, you may prefer the Forte since ventilated seats are also available in this Kia sedan.
Additionally, the Forte offers a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar support. Choose from an array of seating positions to find the best one to support you through every mile of your commute. You may not be able to find your ideal position in the Corolla, though, since it maxes out at an 8-way adjustable driver’s seat.
The beauty of newer models is that you can stay connected to your smartphone without looking at your screen, while also keeping everyone comfortable. Both the Kia and the Toyota come standard with features such as Bluetooth® hands-free connectivity, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, as well as a touch-screen display. In the Forte, this display is eight inches, while in the Corolla, it is seven inches.
In order to fully relax during your daily drive, you need to know you’ll be fully protected at every turn. To help you stay on your toes, the 2022 Kia Forte and the Toyota Corolla come standard with the following protection systems:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Forward Departure Warning
- Lane Keeping Assist-Line
These features are designed to alert you to nearby obstacles and can even bring you to a complete stop in certain situations to help avoid a collision entirely.
Sometimes lengthy commutes can lead to exhausted drivers, so the Forte also includes standard Driver Attention Warning. This system monitors your driving behavior to detect when you may be distracted or drowsy. It then alerts you, so you can take a break from driving.
Unfortunately, this virtual co-pilot looking out for you is not available in the Corolla.
