GT power upgrade
The Kia Forte is available as a high-performance GT model, which gets you a sizable upgrade in power. The engine lurking under the hood is a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder that cranks out 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. You can marry this engine to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters or a six-speed manual gearbox.
Automatic models manage up to 27 mpg in the city and 35 on the highway while manual models see a slight dip in performance to 25 mpg in the city and 32 on the highway.* Available large front brakes and high flow active exhaust increase the performance of the Forte GT, which rides on 18-inch two-tone wheels with available Michelin® Pilot Sport 4 Summer Tires.
