2020 Kia Forte FE Specs

Kia Forte

At the start of the Forte line-up, FE stands for ‘Fuel Efficiency’ as the FE model boasts the best EPA mileage estimates when equipped with the optional CVT gearbox. But it’s not just about efficiency, as there’s a heap of standard safety and convenience features. The seats are six-way manually adjustable and upholstered in cloth, and there’s single-zone climate control; an eight-inch infotainment suite boasts full Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality. Additionally, the full suite of Kia Drive Wise safety technology is standard, including driver attention warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning.
