2014-2018 Kia Forte Hatchback
Compact Hatchback
The Kia Forte offers a long list of standard features, and thanks to a low base price, there is often room in the budget to pick from an option list that offers amenities not usually seen in a budget-class hatchback. All of this is wrapped in a package that offers a generous amount of interior room for five people and one of the best warranties in its class at five years/60,000 miles (ten years/100,000 miles powertrain).
