Exciting Design

When you first see the 2020 Kia Forte at our dealership near Haltom City, you'll notice a few things that stand out about this model versus other compact sedans. First, the central honeycomb grille is trimmed in chrome and gives the new Forte a sporty edge, even in its more basic trims. Next, the sweeping LED headlights not only help you cut through the darkness, but they give the Forte an aerodynamic feel that will inspire you. Down below, aggressive brake ducts and an aerodynamic air dam add to the racy feel of the new Forte, and all of these things are just what's in front of the front wheels.

Around the rest of the car, sweeping lines and curves all feel well placed, giving the new Kia Forte a stance and presence that is impressive without being intimidating. Around the back you'll even have LED taillights that stand out day or night, both for safety and for style.

Driver Assistance Features

It's one thing to have fun behind the wheel, but you need to stay safe while you do so. The 2020 Kia Forte helps you better avoid trouble with a series of advanced driver assistance features that are always scanning the world around you.

Up front, you have the forward collision alert system with pedestrian detection. As the name implies, this system uses radar and cameras to read the road ahead and is always looking for a potential collision with a stopped vehicle or a pedestrian that has suddenly walked out in front of you. You'll have the chance to respond to the initial warning by taking evasive action, and it you can't, automatic emergency braking can back you up.

This feature can apply the brakes for you in an emergency situation, slowing you down and reducing the severity of an impact. In some cases it can even avoid the impact altogether!

Next, there is the blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert system. Using radar technology, this system keeps an eye on what's happening behind you both on the highway and while you're in reverse. In highway scenarios it helps you understand where vehicle are around you so you don't accidentally merge into someone. While in reverse, it will let you know about oncoming traffic so you don't accidentally back into the path of a moving vehicle.

Finally, we have lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control. These systems work together to take some stress out of driving in heavy traffic. Adaptive cruise control allows you to set your desired speed and following distance, and it will slow down whenever necessary to keep a gap to the cars in front. When traffic is clear, it will resume your chosen cruising speed until another slowdown occurs. Meanwhile, lane keep assist reads road markings and gently nudges the steering wheel if you begin to drift. Not only does this help you stay in your lane, but it will give you the ability to focus on the road ahead so you can be better prepared should an emergency occur in front of you.

Keeping You Connected

With both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the 2020 Kia Forte, staying connected is easier than ever. This seamless technology mimics your smartphone interface onto the infotainment display, making it easy to access everything you need without a steep learning curve. You'll have access to everything from calling and contacts to messages and even third-party apps like Spotify and WhatsApp, so you never have to touch your phone while behind the wheel.

In addition, UvoLink technology keeps you connected to your Kia while you're away. This smartphone app lets you do everything from see your last parking location to lock and unlock the doors using your smartphone. You can even start the engine when needed to let the climate control system cool your interior down during the hot Texas summer.

Performance

The 2020 Kia Forte is available with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine the generates 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. You'll enjoy up to 41 mpg on the highway as well, so your longest road trips won't take a bite out of your wallet.

For you performance-minded drivers, choose the 2020 Kia Forte GT. A 1.6-liter turbo engine gives you 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque to play with, and the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission makes it easy to rifle through the gears. The sport-tuned exhaust gives you a satisfying sound, while the advanced suspension helps you carve through the corners with confidence.
