When it comes to shopping for a compact sedan, reliability, value, and features are always top priorities. That’s why the 2024 Kia Forte continues to earn praise from drivers and critics alike. With a sharp exterior, solid performance, and more tech than you’d expect for its price, the Forte is proof that you don’t have to break the bank to get a well-equipped, dependable vehicle.
At Lane11 Motors, we know that our customers want smart investments when it comes to their vehicles. The 2024 Kia Forte checks all the right boxes for daily commuters, first-time buyers, students, and anyone who wants a sleek sedan with great value. In fact, we now have a 2024 Kia Forte EX Premium available at our showroom—fully loaded and ready to drive.
But before we get to that, let’s break down why the 2024 Forte is gaining traction across Canada and why it might be the ideal sedan for you.
Affordable Yet Packed with Features
One of the biggest reasons people gravitate toward the 2024 Kia Forte is the unbeatable combination of price and features. At a time when many car prices are climbing, Kia continues to offer a car that looks and feels like it should cost much more than it does.
Even the lower trims of the Forte come with a surprising amount of standard equipment. You don’t need to jump to the highest level to get essentials like:
-
An 8-inch touchscreen display
-
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
-
Rearview camera
-
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
-
Lane Keeping Assist
-
Bluetooth connectivity
-
Heated front seats
These are features that are either optional or only available on higher trims in many other compact sedans. With the Forte, you're getting them right from the lower models.
Reliable Engine and Fuel Efficiency
Let’s talk performance. Most trims of the 2024 Kia Forte are equipped with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine paired with Kia’s Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). This setup provides a smooth and efficient driving experience, especially in daily commutes and city driving.
-
Horsepower: 147 hp
-
Torque: 132 lb-ft
-
Fuel Economy (City/Highway): Approx. 7.9 / 5.9 L/100km
It’s a practical, fuel-efficient setup that’s also low-maintenance.
For those looking for more excitement under the hood, the GT and GT Limited trims come with a 1.6L turbocharged engine producing 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. These trims are geared toward performance enthusiasts who want a sportier feel.
