2019 KIA Forte

The redesigned Forte compact sedan has been the best seller for Kia for the last couple of years and probably will continue for 2019.  You will see why with an up close and personal inspection of the new Forte with the friendly folks at Huffines KIA McKinney located at 1201 North Central Expressway in McKinney, Texas or by calling the dealership at 469.525.4400 and take your expectations for a spin.  Easy as that. 

Unseen under its handsome and stylish exterior is the new Forte's uni-body chassis which is significantly stronger thanks to the use of more high-strength steel and additional adhesives.  That helps in making your driving experience a pleasant and controlled experience. 

On that enjoyable test drive you will also love it's lithe and sporty feel with MacPherson struts in the front and a torsion beam in the rear that contribute to a stable, secure and fun ride.  What you will see is that this redesigned Kia Forte is longer, wider and even a touch taller.  As a result, your back-seat guests have more room to stretch out and even the trunk space has grown.  The cowl has been moved to the rear five inches and a sleek new fastback roofline culminates in a much shorter rear deck lid.  These new styling cues are taken from the Kia Stinger with a creased hood, separated masculine grille and squinty head lamps in the Forte's wide and assertive stance. 

Car experts/writers say this new Kia Forte has grown up as it is sportier, refined, fuel efficient and has gobs of technology.  The trustworthy organization recently gave the Kia Forte one of their coveted “Check Marks” for a Recommended Vehicle and that recognition is certainly not a “walk in the park”.  Consumer Reports especially liked the slew of standard safety features that include the popular Collision Warning and Automatic Braking that other cars lack in this price range. 

Under the Forte's stylish hood lives an updated perky 2.0-liter four with nearly 150 lively horses and employs the Atkinson Cycle for increased fuel economy.  The engine is mated perfectly with a new CVT, which enables you to reach 40 mpg highway.  This updated CVT is covered by its own sound-deadening metal quilt that makes for a quieter riding experience.  For those who like to throw their own gears, a six-speed manual that delivers short/quick throws is available.  Sliding into those comfy and sturdy seats you will continue to be impressed with upgraded materials and a handsome contoured dash that displays a standard 8-inch infotainment touch screen for your entertainment and communication desires. 

The new 2019 Kia Forte just covers all the bases in making this sedan a pleasure to drive and to be seen in.  No better time than now to check one out.  You will not be disappointed.
