With the Kia Forte affordability and a 10-year powertrain warranty get your through the door, but ample space, quality styling, and a well designed interior will keep your attention. Equipped with a 148 horsepower 4-cylinder engine, the Kia Forte has an EPA estimated 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.
