Design
We’ll begin with the exterior of the Forte since it’s the first thing you see when you’re walking up to it. You can pick from a head-turning palette of colors, including standard Aurora Black, standard Gravity Gray, and available Currant Red. Any of these will go nicely with the optional 17-inch alloy wheels that accentuate the overall design. If you’re heading out at night, the projector beam headlights are there to illuminate each and every dark road ahead. You’ll also have available LED fog lights to assist you when you encounter hazy weather conditions. And with the optional Smart Trunk™, the cargo area will open up as soon as you stand behind the back bumper while holding your key fob for quick access as your hands are full.
Technology
Whether you are taking a short or long drive, the 2023 Forte has many tech features that are going to keep you connected. The center stack has a standard 8-inch touchscreen1, but you can always upgrade to the larger 10.25-inch display1 if you’re interested. Either way, you will have Apple CarPlay®2 and Android Auto™3 that let you access apps, music, and messages as you’re driving. When you want to choose a song to listen to or call a friend, you don’t even have to lift your hands from the steering wheel, as this car is equipped with standard Bluetooth®4. You’ll also be enjoying your tunes in concert-like sound since you will have an optional 8-speaker premium audio system from Harman Kardon®5 with Clari-Fi™5.
Mechanical Abilities
If efficiency is what you’re after in your next vehicle, you won’t be disappointed with the Kia Forte. Its 31/41/35 MPG city/hwy/combined6 fuel economy rating is going to let you stay out on Route 20 longer. Underneath its sheet metal is a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that sings to the tune of 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. Since this compact car has a MacPherson strut front and coupled torsion beam axle rear suspension, you won’t have to worry when you’re tackling bumps and other tougher terrain. We can’t forget to note since you’re going to have Normal, Sport, and Smart modes, you can tailor the drive to your mood while on the fly or right before exiting your driveway.
Stop into Anderson Kia on Perryville today to witness the 2023 Kia Forte for sale in Rockford, IL! Our team is excited to hand you the keys to this astonishing ride. You can find us at 226 North Alpine Road in Rockford, IL.
