New 2017 Kia Forte
Trims: LX | S | EX
The 2017 Kia Forte may seem simple, but this compact sedan features a surprising wealth of state-of-the-art technology. In particular, it boasts a comprehensive suite of advanced safety technologies like automatic emergency braking, among others. At the same time, the Forte can integrate smart phone technology through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto Integration in order to centralize communication. All trim levels are easy to drive due to simple design of the touchscreen interface and overall infotainment system, which includes navigation as a potential option.
Even at the design level, Kia has worked to create a roomy interior for this small car, with updated upholstery, materials, and other details like adaptive xenon headlights. The Forte's base engine at the LX trim level has also been upgraded to a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower and better than average fuel economy up to 32 mpg on the highway. All of these features come at a reasonable price and with a better warranty than most, showing that the 2017 Kia Forte is reliable and a solid investment, especially for people on a budget who might otherwise buy a used car.
