The 2010 Kia Forte is a fresh, new take on the compact sedan. Forte captures your eye with its dynamic road presence. The sweep of its bold lines continues inside, creating a modern cabin where form and function blend seamlessly. So much excitement. So many conveniences. All in a car so affordable. That’s always been Kia’s forte.
Whether you spend your time on the open road or in the stop-and-go of city driving, you have a friend in Forte. A meticulously engineered chassis and four-wheel independent suspension work in harmony, blending dynamic handling and ride comfort. Under the hood, Forte LX and EX models provide a responsive 156-horsepower from a 2.0-litre engine with continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) for outstanding fuel economy, while the 2.4-litre dual CVVT engine in the Forte SX puts an exuberant 173 horsepower at your command.
With the all-new Forte, Kia raises the bar for comfort, roominess and convenience in a compact sedan. Power windows, door locks and heated mirrors are standard on every model. And if you crave more, Forte is available with some surprising extras – like heated front seats, leather trim, automatic climate control and alloy sport pedals.
Here are 6 excellent reviews for 2010 Kia Forte:
1. Car and Driver
With the smaller engine and the automatic gearbox, the Forte didn’t invite aggressive driving, but that’s all the better to enjoy the spacious and well-appointed interior and airy greenhouse. The ride is relatively supple, and the car welcomes simply sliding it into drive and cruising.
2. Motor Trend
The Forte’s sheetmetal duds, penned at the Korean automaker’s California design studio, are neatly pressed, featuring a version of Kia’s new look front fascia with swept-back headlights. Its creased hood flows nicely into the A-pillar and there’s a subtle beltline that runs from the headlights to the attractive trapezoidal taillamps.
3. Edmunds
Unlike the bargain-bin Spectra that it replaces, the new 2010 Kia Forte is good enough to compete against perennial segment stars from Honda, Mazda and Toyota.
