Kia Forte: The Compact Car Value Leader in Atlanta, GA
While most compact car shoppers tend to start with the ToyoHondas of the world at the top of their consideration list, the smart money these days is going toward the Kia Forte. We know that’s a bold statement, but we’re prepared to back it up.
For the price you pay for a Kia Forte, no other compact car comes close to touching the level of features and amenities you get. Kia went tech heavy with the Forte and that’s proving to be a wise strategy for winning over converts to this vehicle. It also goes without saying that the Forte gets high marks in the fuel efficiency department, as well.
Another great reason to choose the Kia Forte?
You get Kia’s legendary powertrain warranty. The competition can’t touch the Forte’s warranty and that’s peace of mind that money can’t buy.
Atlanta West Kia invites you to step outside the box when it comes to considering a compact car. The Kia Forte offers more features, technology and a better warranty than the competition at a lower price or monthly payment.

2019 Kia Forte Engine / Performance Review
The 2019 Kia Forte models are powered by a 2.0L inline-4 Atkinson Cycle engine that generates 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. With the Intelligent Continuously Variable Transmission in place (it’s optional on the base model but standard on the top three trims), you’ll get incredible fuel economy numbers that add on to the Forte’s already stellar value.

A Glimpse into the Interior
When you slide into the quiet and comfortable cabin of the 2019 Kia Forte, you might be surprised to find just how remarkably well equipped it is, especially considering its affordable price point. This is what Kia does best, and for 2019 they have upped the stakes even more in the Forte.
The redesign has simplified the compact car’s dashboard layout, which features a centrally located 8-inch touchscreen with user-friendly and easy-to-access controls and intuitive interfaces. Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are equipped in all trims, and a wireless charging pad is available.
When it comes to safety equipment, you can outfit your Forte with advanced protective elements like adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assist, forward collision warning, and more.
And despite its compact car designation, the Forte feels spacious on the inside, with ample legroom (which increased following the redesign) and a generous trunk (also slightly bigger for 2019) for your cargo needs.

Interior of the Vehicles
Though long considered a value brand (and still offering more bang for your buck than most manufacturers can dream of), Kia has made great strides when it comes to upscaling its vehicles’ interiors. The Forte’s cabin is quiet, comfortable, loaded with features, and decked out with high-quality materials that make it feel like a much more expensive car than it is.
Roomy cloth seats can be upgraded to leather and offer plenty of legroom in both rows. Technology features are on par with many more expensive cars in the segment, with a user-friendly UVO infotainment system that some reviewers consider one of the best available. As for cargo room, the sedan’s available 14.9 cubic feet in the trunk is above average for a compact car.
