Expert Rating

Our expert ratings are based on seven comprehensive criteria: quality, safety, comfort, performance, fuel economy, reliability history and value.

You can interpret our ratings in the following way:

: Outstanding vehicle. Only the most exceptional vehicles achieve this rating.

: Very Good vehicle. Very good and close to being the best vehicle in its class.

: Good vehicle. Decent, but not quite the best. Often affordable, but lacking key features found in vehicles of the same class.

: Below average vehicle. Not recommended, and lacking attributes a car buyer would come to expect for the price.

: Poor vehicle. Simply does not deserve to be on the road.

Choosing Your Kia Forte

The main decision for Forte buyers is between two distinct trim levels: the entry-level LX and upscale EX. The two not only differ in standard and optional equipment, they have different engines and transmissions.

Kia Forte

LX

The base LX comes with a 148-horsepower 1.8-liter engine that's paired to standard six-speed manual or optional six-speed automatic transmission. Its list of standard features includes basics like air conditioning, power windows, power heated outside mirrors, satellite radio, Bluetooth and steering wheel-mounted audio controls.

The options list isn't much more lavish—buyers can add amenities like cruise control and remote keyless entry at extra cost.

CarsDirect Tip

Unless you're on a strict budget, we suggest the EX. Be careful about option packages, though—a fully-loaded Forte has a price that puts it into competition with more accomplished cars.
