Kia Forte

Refreshed last year, the Kia Forte 2018 enters Calgary with a fresh look and ready demeanor. As a compact sedan or hatchback, the Kia Forte gets a lot of attention. It has seating for up to five, plenty of cargo room for life's stuff, and a peppy drive quality that draws out the fun in every drive.

An extremely affordable price tag, great curb presence, and a lot of appeal make the Kia Forte in Calgary a great choice.

Design and Interior

The Kia Forte sold in Calgary includes a beautiful exterior look that is very upscale compared to many competitors in its class. The signature Kia "kidney" grille is flanked by long, thin headlamps that run over the fender. A flat hood runs quickly to a fast-paced windscreen that curves into a rolling roofline on the sedan and a fast hatch clip on the hatchback. Wheels are pushed to the corners for better maneuverability and trim items set off the windows and grille for a finished look.

Inside, the Kia Forte 2018 has a quality-made interior with a spacious rear seat and great visibility for the driver. Seating is arranged to maximize comfort and room while the driver is treated to a driver-centric cockpit with good materials use and easily understood controls. Cargo space is similarly spacious in the Forte in both the sedan and hatchback models.
