2023 Forte sedan specializes in value and moderation. Frugality is its most important character trait. It has handsome design elements, and adequate engine offerings—with up to 201 horsepower from a turbocharged 1.6-liter in-line four—though it’s far from a hot rod. It offers plenty of safety tech. The Kia Forte, specifically those equipped with the less powerful engine and automatic transmission, will keep drivers cruising past gas stations with an EPA highway rating of 41 mpg, city rating of 30 mpg, and a combined fuel economy rating of 34 mpg. The interior of this car impressed us with its minimalist design and high-quality materials. The back seat is spacious enough for two adults to be comfortable, and long road trips in the Forte can be made without complaint. The base model offers all the basic amenities, but things get more pleasant as you work up through the various models. Dual-zone automatic climate control is optional, for example, as are heated and ventilated front seats.
