Trim Levels of the 2024 Kia Forte

The 2024 Kia Forte is a stylish, sporty, fuel-efficient compact sedan available at your local Kia dealer. You can’t go wrong with any of the trims, but let’s explore the differences between the levels.

LX

The base model Forte comes nicely equipped. It has available in gravity gray, clear white, or aurora black pearl. It has woven cloth seats and can carry 5 passengers. With the LX’s infotainment system, you’ll always be well-connected. Its 8-inch touchscreen display has wireless Bluetooth technology and is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving you access to your smartphone’s music, maps, texts, and apps. It comes with a 4-speaker audio system.

Driver-Assistance

The Forte comes with a collection of features that make driving less stressful. One of the key assistance features is Driver Attention Warning. This monitors the driver for signs of reduced alertness and lets you know if you need a break. Other driver-assistance features on the base model include:

• Rear occupant alert
• Lane following assist
• Lane keeping assist
  
  

LXS

The LXS comes with 16-inch alloy wheels and larger tires. It’s available in an extended selection of exterior colors:

• Steel gray
• Snow white pearl 
• Deep sea blue
• Currant red
• Fire orange

The LXS also adds 60/40 split-folding rear seats, giving you the option of additional cargo space.

GT-Line

The GT-Line is bolder and more aggressive. Its upgraded exterior has 17-inch alloy wheels, LED foglights and taillights, rear spoiler, and black gloss mirrors. It also has distinctively GT touches like a bold grille with red accents. The GT-Line comes with remote start and pre-cooling and heating.

Connectivity and Audio

The GT-Line has a premium infotainment system that features a 10.25-inch touchscreen display with built-in navigation and a 6-speaker audio system. Other connectivity features added to the GT-Line include SiriusXM radio and Kia Connect.

Driver-Assistance

The sportier, more aggressive GT-Line also comes with additional assistance features, such as Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist. This alerts you to vehicles in your blind spot, and will put on the brakes or steer you away if needed.

GT

The GT takes the same aggressive styling as the GT-Line, but its added LED headlights, 18-inch wheels, and dual exhaust tips give it an even sportier look. The GT comes with a turbocharged engine capable of generating 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. It has a 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

GT Manual

The GT Manual is very similar to the GT, but it has a 6-speed manual transmission. It is the only trim that has heated seats and a sunroof as standard features. The GT Manual comes with a premium Harman Kardon audio system with 8 speakers and a subwoofer.
