When it comes to compact cars on the market, the names of the Toyota Corolla, the Honda Civic and the Mazda3 often come up in conversation. We understand that these are good vehicles, but Kia's representative in the category, the Forte, has nothing to envy to its Japanese rivals.
Here's what makes it stand out in the market.
The price
Let's start with what matters most. Some of the Kia Forte's rivals have seen their prices rise considerably since the beginning of the pandemic, without any real justification. Kia hasn't touched the Forte's price for the past three years, other than making the necessary and usual adjustments, as it does every year, pandemic or not.
As a result, the entry-level price of the Forte is barely $20,000. Yes, there are still compact cars at this price.
The multimedia system
Multimedia systems have become very important features with all vehicles today. At Kia, the interface we offer is one of the most user-friendly in the industry. While we always end up complaining about one of the competitor's systems, whether it's Honda, Toyota or Mazda, we really like Kia's approach. Everything is seamless and the connections are reliable and durable.
On a day-to-day basis, this is something you can appreciate.
The price/equipment ratio
We referred to the price earlier. I should add that for the price of each version, no other model offers as much equipment as the Forte. None at all! The generosity of the Korean side has always been recognized by all and it is no exception with the Forte.
In fact, that's true of everything else this vehicle offers. For the price, the quality is exceptional, as are the fuel economy, the performance of the powertrains and the reliability.
In short, if you're looking for a good deal, you've just found it.
