The All New Kia Forte

Like the fashionable Soul, the Kia Forte merits a new trip to Lake Manawa Kia.

The Forte has many of the elements of much more expensive cars, yet it’s still one of the least expensive small sedans.

Forte shoppers have a choice of two different engines—a 156-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder in LX and EX models or a 173-hp, 2.4-liter four in the sportier SX. 2010 Kia Forte LX and EX models have a standard five-speed manual and optional four-speed automatic, while SX models get a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic.
