    The EX is where the Forte lineup gets especially interesting. Instead of settling for a basic compact sedan, you're getting heated AND ventilated front seats, a power moonroof, navigation, premium harman/kardon audio, advanced driver-assistance technology, and an upscale interiorall in an affordable, easy-to-own package.

    TOP FEATURES: New Tires * 1-Owner AutoCheck History * Accident-Free History Report * Gravity Gray * 17-Inch Machine-Finish Alloy Wheels * SOFINO Leatherette Seating * Heated Front Seats * Ventilated Front Seats * Power Driver Seat * Power Moonroof * Navigation * harman/kardon Premium Audio * Apple CarPlay and Android Auto * Blind Spot Monitor * Rear Cross Traffic Alert * Lane Departure Warning * Backup Camera * Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control

    Step inside and this Forte EX feels like much more than basic transportation. Heated seats are great for Ohio winters, while ventilated front seats are a feature you will appreciate when summer temperatures climb. Dual-zone automatic climate control lets driver and passenger choose their preferred settings, while the power driver's seat makes finding a comfortable position easy.

    Technology is another major reason this Forte stands out. Navigation keeps directions conveniently accessible, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrate your compatible smartphone, and the harman/kardon premium audio system with eight speakers provides an upgraded listening experience. The power moonroof adds an open-air feel to the cabin.

    You'll also have Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, a rear backup camera, Electronic Stability Control, and Traction Control helping add confidence to everyday driving.

      Best car I’ve ever owned

      by Mel from the Shore on 8/13/2026 10:52:48 PM

      I’ve had my 2021 Kia Forte for quite a few years now and, with 97,000 miles, I honestly couldn’t be happier with it! I still average around 41 MPG, which is fantastic, especially with today’s gas prices. I’ve never had a major mechanical issue with this car. I’ve simply kept up with routine maintenance—regular oil changes and replacing tires and brakes as needed—and it has been incredibly reliable. The heat and A/C still work great, too! It’s comfortable, dependable, fuel-efficient, and inexpensive to maintain. I think the Kia Forte would make an excellent first car for anyone looking for something reliable and economical. I’d definitely buy another one!

      Driver side window problem

      by Eddie on 1/10/2026 4:39:33 PM

      I bought a new 2024 Kia Forte and I like it except for the mentioned driver side window does not roll down many a times. I took it to KY dealer. First they thought it was the switch, then that did not fix it and I have to bring it back again and waited for few more days to for them to fix it. Then after that the problem persisted, I just did not care so much about it because it opens sometimes but also wont open many times, but now after a year, it will not open anymore. Next week I am going to bring it back again to the dealer to have it fix again.

      Great car

      by Jackie on 1/10/2026 12:22:58 PM

      I have the 2022 Forte 5speed edition and love it. It's zippy and economical to drive, both highway & city driving which is my bread & butter. Easy to handle & all season comfort & reliability in Alberta's seasons. Proper tires & regular maintenance keeps it well tuned. On top of 10 year warranty, my low mileage at under 40k would be an easy sell. The car sells it's self & needs no assistance.
