Kia Forte vs Hyundai Elantra

Kia Forte

If you’re looking for a bold compact commuter to make driving through DeLand, DeBary, and Deltona, Florida, fun and easy, there are two models worth considering. Both the Kia Forte and Hyundai Elantra are top runners in this sector, offering refinement behind the wheel, but do you know which one is right for you?

DeLand Kia is here to help you figure that out with our head-to-head Kia Forte vs. Hyundai Elantra comparison. Though each offer something unique, keep reading to see which of these popular models has the features you want the most!


Forte vs Elantra: Performance Specs

Kia Forte Engine SpecsWhen you’re behind the wheel, you deserve the perfect combination of power and efficiency so you can enjoy your lively drive for longer. Luckily, both the Kia Forte and Hyundai Elantra deliver.

In fact, there are a lot of similarities between these two models under the hood. For example, both are powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that generates 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque while promoting a highly fuel-sipping ride.

What if you need more than that, though? Then you turn to the Kia Forte. While the Elantra doesn’t offer a second powertrain choice, the Forte makes available a turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder. This will take your drives to the next level with an impressive 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque.

Additionally, if you like to have complete control of your gears while driving, the Kia Forte offers a 6-way manual transmission as well as a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission in addition to its Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). The Hyundai Elantra only has one transmission option.  


Kia vs Hyundai: Interior Features

Kia Forte InteriorFrom the outside, it’s clear that both the Forte and Elantra offer stylish good looks that are classic yet contemporary. Step inside and be impressed even further thanks to a suite of high-end features and technologies in both models.

Each ride includes:

  • Standard 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system
  • Available 8-speaker premium sound systems
  • Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™ smartphone integration

However, when it comes to comfort and convenience, the Kia Forte might have the upper hand. With its available 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support, you can dial in the coziness while behind the wheel. The Hyundai Elantra, on the other hand, only offers an 8-way driver’s seat.

The trunk in the Forte is also a tad larger than the Elantra’s. With up to 15.3 cubic feet of space, you can fit more luggage and shopping bags compared to the 14.2 cubic feet trunk in the Hyundai Elantra.


Kia Forte vs Hyundai Elantra: The Choice is Yours!

The Hyundai Elantra is no doubt one of the most popular compact commuters on the market. However, with more performance options and a driver-centered interior, we think you’ll love taking the wheel of the Kia Forte.

To see if we’re right, reach out to the team at DeLand Kia and schedule a test drive. Our team welcomes all drivers in DeLand, DeBary, and Deltona, FL, to come find their favorite Kia sedan today!
