This muscular engine helps the Forte dash from zero to 60 mph in just 6.7 seconds. The Forte's suspension absorbs bumps in the road while still feeling composed around corners. Precise steering and strong brakes also contribute to the Forte's fun-to-drive personality.
Cutting-Edge Technology

Advanced Safety Features
Kia prioritizes safety, and the Forte provides Westbrook, ME, drivers with a comprehensive set of advanced driver assistance systems. Forward collision warning alerts you if the system detects a potential front-end collision with a vehicle or pedestrian.

Additional aids like lane keeping assist, blind spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control make driving less stressful. With so many eyes on the road, you can feel confident behind the wheel.
Bold Exterior Styling
The Forte's sleek and athletic exterior styling makes it right at home in the Gorham, ME, area. Its sporty silhouette features a fastback-like roofline that slopes down to the short rear deck, along with a wide grille and narrow headlights that give it an aggressive, forward-leaning stance. From the side, clean body lines and a strong shoulder line add to the Forte's bold attitude. The sport-inspired GT Line and GT trims amp up the excitement with unique black exterior accents, rear spoilers, and 18-inch alloy wheels. With so much curb appeal, the Forte is sure to grab attention from your neighbors.
Practical and Comfortable Interior
