CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Kia Forte EX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2021 Kia Forte EX, see the figures and the checks worth doing.

The numbers in plain words

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

The combined figure, 7.1 L/100 km, means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $33.03 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

A good match for

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Living with the Forte

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 425 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

A longer test drive

A test week in the Forte tells you more than any review. A week with the Forte answers more than any brochure. Rent the Forte first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Picking a year and a trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Compare the EX with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Money matters

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
