Performance & Capability
Under the hood, the 2018 Kia Forte LX features a responsive 2L I-4 DOHC engine with D-CVVT variable valve control, running on regular unleaded fuel and delivering 147HP. Power is managed smoothly by a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and sequential shift control, sending power directly to the Front Wheel Drive system. This powertrain combination yields an efficient EPA rating of 25 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway, ensuring fewer stops at the pump during your weekly driving routine. The chassis relies on an independent front strut suspension with coil springs and a front anti-roll bar, paired with a semi-independent rear torsion beam suspension and gas-pressurized shock absorbers. Electric power-assist rack-and-pinion steering provides crisp handling, while four-wheel disc brakes with four-channel ABS, electronic stability control, and hill start assist work together to keep every journey controlled and stable across varying road surfaces.
Technology & Connectivity
Inside the cabin, the Kia Forte LX keeps you connected and entertained with a comprehensive array of standard technology. The center stack houses an AM/FM/CD/MP3/SiriusXM audio system paired with 6 strategically placed speakers for balanced sound clarity throughout the interior. Built-in Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity allows for safe phone operation on the go, while Bluetooth wireless audio streaming lets you enjoy your favorite playlists effortlessly. Additional connectivity options include a single USB port and an auxiliary input jack, perfect for charging and connecting personal media devices. Front seat occupants can easily adjust settings using the intuitive steering wheel mounted audio controls without taking their eyes off the road. An analog instrumentation display clearly presents vital vehicle info, complemented by a digital clock and an exterior temperature display to keep you informed on every drive.
