The base Forte LX features halogen headlights, body-color components, and 15-inch steel wheels. Its interior includes air conditioning, a four-speaker audio system, and an immobilizer, along with a 4.2-inch multi-information display and an 8-inch infotainment system.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being the entry-level trim, the LX doesn&#8217;t skimp on safety. It comes equipped with Forward Collision Warning, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, High-Beam Assist, Rear Occupant Detection Alert, and Driver Attention Warning.<\/p>\n<p>Under the hood, the Forte LX is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque, connected to an Intelligent Variable Transmission that drives the front wheels.<\/p>\n<p>For those seeking more performance, there&#8217;s the range-topping Forte GT starting at $24,490. The GT distinguishes itself with sportier styling, including LED lighting units, gloss black accents, a rear spoiler, and 18-inch alloy wheels.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the GT offers a more premium experience with a leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel and a choice of SynTex or cloth\/SynTex seats. Additional features include alloy pedals, dual-zone automatic climate control, a wireless smartphone charger, and a six- or eight-speaker audio system. The GT also enhances its driver assistance technology with features like Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Highway Driving Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist.<\/p>\n<p>The performance aspect gets an upgrade too, as the GT swaps out the typical torsion beam for a multi-link rear suspension. More notably, the GT is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine generating 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. Buyers can choose between a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price Range<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>LX: $19,790<\/li>\n<li>LXS: $20,290<\/li>\n<li>GT-Line: $22,290<\/li>\n<li>GT (DCT): $24,490<\/li>\n<li>GT (Manual): $25,190<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kia has introduced the 2024 Forte with a starting price of $19,790, just a slight increase from its predecessor, but it remains one of the most affordable cars in America.
