The 2024 Kia Forte: Extra-Large Excellence in a Compact Package
Taking a Tour of the Outside and Inside
From its projector-style headlights to its 15-inch steel wheels, the 2024 Forte base model boasts a premium exterior. Higher trims upgrade to alloy wheels measuring 16, 17, or 18 inches, and the GT models all include LED fog lights and LED tail lights. The top three trims proudly feature aggressive GT body styling, along with an aerodynamic rear spoiler and shark-fin roof-mounted antenna. The top-trim GT Manual features a sliding and tilting sunroof as a standard amenity.
The Forte can accommodate up to five people, with woven cloth upholstery, six-way-adjustable front seats, and a three-person bench in the rear. The front side windows and windshield are manufactured with Solar Control Glass, perfect for keeping the cabin cool and protecting interior surfaces from sun damage. Higher trims offer heated front seats, alloy sport pedals, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Peeking Under the Hood
The LX, GT-Line, and LXS trims house a four-cylinder two-liter inline engine with 132 lb-ft of torque and 147 horsepower, while the GT and GT Manual trims upgrade to a turbocharged four-cylinder 1.6-liter engine that pumps out 195 lb-ft of torque and 201 horsepower. The newest Forte features a double overhead camshaft valvetrain with four valves per cylinder, dual continuously variable valve timing, and a front-engine front-wheel-drive layout.
Boasting a robust steel unibody construction, the 2024 Forte delivers superior handling and enhanced protection from impacts. The compact Kia features a MacPherson front suspension with a stabilizer bar and coil springs, paired with a torsion-beam rear suspension and twin-tube shock absorbers for smooth riding on bumpy terrain. Every trim in this year’s lineup comes equipped with the Drive Mode Select program, featuring Smart, Normal, and Sport modes.
Stability Software
Each of the five available trims in this year’s Forte lineup comes with Vehicle Stability Management, Electronic Stability Control, and Hill-Start Assist Control.

The base model comes with Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Rear Occupant Alert, and Driver Attention Warning. The GT-Line trim adds Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Cyclist Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Highway Driving Assist, and Navigation-Based Stop-and Go Cruise Control.
