Model
Lineup
Three trim levels will be available: standard LX, well-equipped EX, and
sporty SX. The LX includes a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat, tilt
steering wheel, rear defroster, and a CD player. However, perhaps more
important for shoppers in the $15,000 price range, every Kia Forte
includes an auxiliary input jack, a USB port, Bluetooth wireless
connectivity, and 3 months of free Sirius satellite radio.
Stepping up to the EX model adds power door locks, power windows,
remote keyless entry, air conditioning, map lights, cruise and audio
controls on the steering wheel, floor mats, rear cupholders, and
6-speaker surround sound audio. A power sunroof and leather seats are
optional on the Forte EX.
Drivers looking for a little performance will want to choose the SX,
which, in addition to a more powerful engine, includes 17-inch wheels,
P215/45R17 tires, sport suspension, larger brakes, rear spoiler,
telescopic steering wheel, and sport cloth seats with red stitching.
Like the EX, the Forte SX can be optioned with leather seats and a
power sunroof.
