2024 Kia Forte Possible Refreshed Project

Although the company hasn’t made any official confirmation about their upcoming 2024 Kia Forte, many sources claim that it will likely get a redesign touchup. The redesign project would likely happen to the exterior and interior areas while staying away from the powertrain. Although Kia makes Forte Hybrid for Chinese market, it’s so unlikely that they would introduce the hybrid (subcompact) ride for the US market. The car manufacturer has made a commitment to create 8 new EVs before 2029 for American market alone, although it’s not possible that the Forte EV would be included in the list.

About the Forte

The Forte got the last refreshed touchup in 2021. Currently, the vehicle is offered in 4 trims and it will stay that way, hopefully. The redesign project may bring more features, including the (standard) connectivity options and also safety features for the LX, which is the basic trim. But then again, the company hasn’t made any confirmation about it. They haven’t made any official announcement about the Forte’s production either.

For the interior cabin, expect updates and improvements. Plush cabin and comfy experience should be a part of it. the current Forte has the standard pedestrian detection, high beam assist, lane keeping assist, and auto emergency braking. If you want more features, such as reverse auto braking, blind spot detection, LED (daytime) running lights, and others, you need to go with the higher trims as the base level won’t offer such features.

Powertrain and Performance

As it was mentioned before, the 2024 Kia Forte would be coming with the same powertrain options. The current option is the four cylinder unit with 2.0 liter capacity, delivering 147 hp and 132 Nm of torque. This unit would be coming together with CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). It is offered with front wheel driving system. This arrangement is considered ideal to create smooth and decent performance for the Forte.

However, if you go with the higher trims, such as the GT, you can get access to four cylinder turbocharged unit with 1.6 liter capacity, generating 201 hp and 195 Nm of torque. This powertrain would be coming together with dual clutch 7 speed transmission (with paddle shifters) or even with manual 6 speed transmission.
