Kia Forte Performance

The Kia Forte provides drivers with a personalized experience behind the wheel. This is thanks to two engine choices, allowing you to pick the right power and strength for your travels.

First up is the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder powertrain that boasts up to 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. This option is great for smooth drives in the city while still allowing you to seamlessly reach higher speeds on the highway.

Or, if you have a true need for speed, opt for the available Turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder engine. With its amped-up 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, you’ll have the extra oomph you crave.
