The 2022 Kia Forte LX: before you buy

No 2022 Kia Forte LX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2022 Kia Forte LX, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

A buyer's checks

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

The figures, translated

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Combined fuel use is 7.1 L/100 km: about 21 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $11.01 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who it is for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

What the Forte is like

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is 425 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

A longer test drive

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Forte answers the big questions. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure. Try the Forte on your commute, then decide.

Picking a year and a trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Compare the LX with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

The cost of driving it

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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
