Kia has really been showing us that they can play with the big boys now. The new 2017 Kia Forte is looking better than ever and they might have to thank the Elantra for it.
The 2017 Kia Forte will be coming in with an upgraded interior that will include a new tiger-nose grille in the front, new front bumper, taillights, and more. Overall, the upgrade Kia Forte reminds us a little of the Elantra.
Under the hood is a 2.0 liter four cylinder engine that will be delivering about 147hp and 132lb ft of torque. The engine will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission although an auto version will also be offered as an optional feature.
Customers will have three trims to choose from, LX, S, and EX. The 2017 Kia Forte will come with a long list of safety features like blind spot detection, lane change assist, rear cross traffic alert, lane change warning, autonomous emergency braking, front collision warning and more.
