2020 Kia Forte EX Specs

The EX is the Forte’s luxury model, fitted as standard with the most comfort, convenience, and opulence-oriented features. On the outside, it exhibits more of a sophisticated appearance, with its gloss black with white chrome radiator grille, body-color side-view mirrors, and chrome window beltline. On the inside, the EX features heated and ventilated front seats, a ten-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and Sofino seat upholstery. Aiding comfort further is standard dual-zone climate control, while safety is bolstered by the addition of blind-spot monitoring, lane change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. SiriusXM satellite radio comes standard as of the EX as does an additional USB charge port.
