The 2017 Kia Forte is a compact sedan that is offered in three trims: LX, S and EX. The 2017 Forte saw some slight design modifications for the new model year and saw other improvements and changes on the interior, pertaining to engine options and standard equipment. The stylish and sporty Forte makes a great vehicle for young drivers, couples, commuters and students! Check out the 2017 Kia Forte today at Moritz Kia. Keep reading to find out how Kia made the 2017 Forte more valuable than ever.
First things first, Kia replaced the Forte's base 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with a 2.0-liter engine which runs on the efficiency-boosting Atkinson cycle. Horsepower and fuel economy ratings remain fairly identical to the old engine. The Forte EX comes standard with a more powerful direct-injection 2.0-liter that produces 164 horsepower. Either engine, drivers will find the Forte to be a responsive and fun-to-drive sedan that offers great fuel economy.
