Kia Forte Engines and Transmissions

Kia Forte trim levels such as LX and EX group popular features into convenient packages. For example, the 1.6 AT sedan offers these trims, with EX typically adding more comfort and technology than the base LX. This approach lets buyers select a single version that matches their priorities.
