Design

Thanks to its wider wheelbase and low hood, the new Kia Forte has a streamlined exterior designed to improve its aerodynamics and deliver a smooth, drag-free ride. The sleek front and rear bumpers, paired with the stylish front grille, give it an elegant look that lets you stand out each time you drive into Modesto. LED headlights with high beam assistance for improved road visibility as you navigate California's roads and highways. Meanwhile, heated/ventilated seats create a perfect driving experience regardless of outside weather conditions. A 10-way power driver's seat with lumbar support and LED interior lighting provides extra comfort and creates an atmosphere that matches your current mood.
