2018 Kia Forte LX Auto

Meet the Black 2018 Kia Forte—a sleek little sedan that keeps things simple, smart, and genuinely fun to drive. Wrapped in glossy black with a sharp grille and clean body-colored bumpers and handles, it has that classic “looks good anywhere” vibe—whether it’s pulling up to work, sliding into a tight parking spot downtown, or heading out for a weekend errand run that somehow turns into an all-day cruise.

Under the hood, the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine pairs with an automatic transmission that includes a driver-selectable mode, so you can tailor the feel a bit depending on your mood or the road. Front-wheel drive and electric power steering make it easy to maneuver, while the suspension setup and stabilizer bar help it stay composed when the commute gets twisty. And when traffic does what traffic does, you’ll appreciate the confidence of 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, brake assist, and hill hold control.

Inside, the cabin keeps it comfortable and straightforward with black cloth seating, supportive front buckets, and a rear seat that folds down when you need extra flexibility for cargo. There are thoughtful everyday touches throughout—cupholders front and rear, a full center console with storage, a 12V power outlet, and air conditioning with underseat ducts to help keep everyone comfortable. Streaming audio through the 4-speaker system keeps your playlists and podcasts along for the ride, and little conveniences like a rear window defroster, variable intermittent wipers, and a handy outside temperature gauge round out the daily-driver experience.

Safety and peace of mind are built in, too, with side impact beams, multiple airbags (including side and curtain coverage), a tire pressure warning system, rear child safety locks, and a perimeter alarm.

And for added confidence before you buy: a CARFAX report is available for this Forte.
