The Standard 2.0L Engine
Coming with the LX, LXS, and GT-Line trims on the new Kia Forte is the standard 2.0L engine option. The size of the engine is already very impressive for being standard, and it’s capable of 147 horsepower with 132 lb.-ft. of torque to get you where you need to go with great power and speed. Starting at around $19,690, the new Forte is a great value considering the level of engine power at such a low price range. And what’s more, is that this engine option is built with a CVT system for greater control over your drive with a simple yet dynamic setup.

What Comes In The GT-Line? Since it sports the same engine as the base trims, you may be wondering how the GT-Line is any different. This trim is a real treat as it comes with specialized styling including a leather-wrapped flat-bottomed steering wheel and sports seats. The GT-Line is a great way to satisfy the sports car enthusiast on a budget without going for the full GT model. |
The Upgraded 1.6L Turbocharged Engine
By opting for the Forte GT trim, you can experience a 1.6L turbocharged engine that’s even more powerful with 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque which is comparable to other sporty sedans on the market such as the Acura Integra. But what makes the Forte GT stand out is the intuitive 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that can be controlled with paddle shifters on the flat-bottomed steering wheel. For those dedicated racing spirits, there’s a manual version of the Forte GT available with a 6-speed transmission and 3-pedal driving capability.
More About The Sport-Tuned Forte GT
For a more aggressive feel to match the dynamic engine, the GT model also has a multi-link rear suspension system and a sport-tuned dual exhaust setup. Need people to know what they’re up against? The red grille inserts and rear diffuser accents put on an exciting show that’s hard to ignore. Needless to say, the 2023 Forte GT is quite a force to be reckoned with!
