2019 Kia Forte Review

April 19, 2019 By Becca Gardner

Front of the 2019 Kia Forte

Today we are going to talk about the brand new, fully redesigned 2019 Kia Forte. The new Forte took a lot of new styling elements from the Kia Stinger to give it a much sportier, sleeker look. So the new headlights are redesigned to have LED daytime running lights to look a little bit like the Stinger, but also gives it kind of a cool unique look. Going down the road you get the grille that’s lined with chrome and black accents around it much like the Stinger. All these elements really make the Forte stand out from other sedans in the segment and looks very aggressive coming at you.

Moving down the bumper you do get these integrated turn signals which look good, as well as these active side vents to give it better aerodynamics. Working our way all the way to the back of the vehicle the new taillights integrate LEDs to give it a sharp look at night and has a continuous reflecting line across it very similar to the Stinger.

On the inside of the 2019 Kia Forte the interior is completely redesigned to be very stylish but also modern. There are no excess buttons or anything like that. Everything is laid out very clean and easy to use. You get a standard 7- inch touchscreen that controls most of your functions such as your backup camera, XM Radio, Apple and Android CarPlay. In the Kia Forte, you get your standard dual zone climate control display. This feature gets its own readout so it’s very easy to use and read. There are a couple stylish touches from the Stinger inside of here such as the shift knob is styled after the GT2 and the air vents are the circular air vents styled after the Stinger.
