The 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2021 Kia Forte EX Premium, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

Recalls and complaints

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

Under the hood

The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 21 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.1 L/100 km. Expect about $11.01 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

How big it is

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.

Try before you buy

Drive the Forte on your commute before you commit to it. If the Forte is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Forte for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Which one to look for

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Compare the EX Premium with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting.
