Model Highlights
The Forte is available in three different body styles: a sedan, a 5-door hatch or a 2-door coupe, dubbed the Forte "Koup" by Kia. All three body styles utilize one of two different 4-cylinder engines, a 2.0L, which makes 156 horsepower, or a 2.4L that produces 173. Both engines come available with either an automatic or a manual transmission. allowing the Kia Forte to produce impressive mileage for a non-hybrid car. When equipped with the Eco package the Forte Manages to produce 30 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The Forte is available in three trims, LX, EX and SX. Regardless of trims however, it comes equipped with a nice list of standard features.

Forte Sedans are available with any trim level, but the hatchback and Koup are more upscale being available in only EX and SX trims.
