Vehicle description

LXS IVT 2023 Kia Forte LXS - 39 MPG Highway - Comfort, Technology & Value You don't need to spend a fortune to get a car that's comfortable, easy to drive, and equipped with the technology you use every day. This 2023 Kia Forte LXS offers practical value for commuting, running errands, or getting the family where they need to go. With approximately 42,300 miles, it was previously used as a rental vehicle. KEEP MORE OF YOUR GAS MONEY. The 2.0L 4-cylinder engine pairs with an Intelligent Variable Transmission for easy everyday driving. EPA-estimated 28 MPG city and 39 MPG highway can make a real difference when you're filling up week after week. The Forte runs on regular gasoline, too. Actual mileage varies. MORE ROOM THAN YOU MIGHT EXPECT. The Forte is easy to maneuver around town, but its five-passenger cabin offers useful space for everyday life. The 15.3-cubic-foot trunk handles groceries, luggage, or school supplies, and the 60/40 split-folding rear seat gives you flexibility when there's something longer to carry. The LXS trim adds 16-inch alloy wheels and upgraded interior touches, giving you more than bare-bones transportation without paying for equipment you don't need. THE FEATURES YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE. An 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto lets you bring your phone's maps, music, and calls along without connecting a cable. A rearview camera makes parking easier. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Lane Keeping Assist offer helpful support when traffic gets busy, while Driver Attention Warning adds another layer of awareness.
