Performance 

For trims of the 2023 Kia Forte below the pair of GT trims, drivers get to cruise around mid-Michigan with a dependable 2.0L four-cylinder engine under the hood. Delivering a quality 147 horsepower to whatever road the sedan finds itself on, the Forte gets around its environment with plenty of speed to get daily tasks done right. This is further accentuated with the Continuously Variable Transmission keeping acceleration responsive and seamless to keep everyone in the vehicle from having a jarring ride. The GT trim introduces a turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder engine to the sedan, making 201 horsepower feel impeccable with the lightweight vehicle design. The base GT trim offers an automatic dual-clutch seven-speed transmission, while the GT Manual trim exchanges this for a manual six-speed for direct control over performance. Every 2023 Forte is equipped with FWD as the drivetrain to keep steering inputs as accurate as possible.  

Interior Features 

Modern ingenuity combines with a spacious interior to give the 2023 Kia Forte a welcoming atmosphere for passengers. Starting with the impressive 96 cubic feet of passenger space, there is plenty of room for passengers to feel like they have their own area of the vehicle. Seating in the sedan is equally as inviting with upholstery options ranging from standard cloth to a refined SynTex material. For greater comfort versatility, customers can opt for heated and ventilation technology to be included in their front seats depending on the trim level chosen.  

Infotainment capabilities in the family of 2023 Forte models are just as diverse as the comfort options in the Kia sedan. All are readily accessible from either the standard eight-inch touchscreen or the upgraded 10.25-inch one found in the GT-Line trim and above. Smartphones can connect to either version of the system through mediums such as Bluetooth®, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. The upgrade to a model with the 10.25-inch touchscreen introduces additional systems such as SiriusXM® radio and integrated navigation to the suite of options. Opting for either of the GT trims will add a convenient wireless smartphone charger to the cabin as well.  

Safety Features  

With systems such as the Driver Attention Warning system found on every trim level of the 2023 Kia Forte, getting around mid-Michigan is a much safer experience as the vehicle will actively alert the driver if it senses a lack of attention placed on the road. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist w/ Pedestrian Detection helps drivers stay aware of what is going on in front of them to keep the likelihood of a frontal collision minimal. Staying in a specific spot on the road is much easier thanks to the inclusion of standard Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist on every 2023 Forte.
