What Transmissions Does the Kia Forte Offer?
Those two engines will need the right transmission pairing, and the Forte offers a unique assortment of up to three. For example, the standard 4-cylinder engine will come paired to an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT).
The available turbocharged engine, on the other hand, can come with either the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission. The dual-clutch choice adds in paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

The Kia Forte delivers great power as well as fuel efficiency. On the base trim level, which comes with the standard 4-cylinder engine paired to the IVT, you’ll experience up to an EPA-estimated 31 city/41 highway MPG.1
The other engine and transmission pairings are efficient in their own right. For example, the available turbocharged engine paired to the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission provides up to an EPA-estimated 27 city/35 highway MPG.1
What Sporty Features does the Kia Forte Have?

As for a standard feature, the Kia Forte comes with the Drive Mode Select system. Its modes include Sport, Normal, and Smart to set the tone each day.
