5 Trim Levels of the 2024 Kia Forte
1. LX

The Forte LX comes with a continuously variable automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The base model gives you up to 34 highway combined city and highway miles per gallon. Fine-tune your experience behind the wheel with selectable drive modes. You’ll have lots of standard safety features including forward collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, driver attention warning, rear occupant alert, and lane following assistance.
The Forte comes with standard conveniences such as push-button start. Tech includes an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 4.2-inch driver information screen.
2. LXS
The LXS adds four extra exterior finishes for a total of seven options. Instead of the standard 15-inch steel wheels, this model shows off 16-inch alloy wheels. You can upgrade the Forte LXS with the available safe exit warning.
3. GT-Line
The GT-Line model adds fiery Currant Red to the exterior color palette. The top three trims also have unique sporty styling with a rear spoiler, shark-fin antenna, and gloss black accents. These models also trade the base engine for a 201-horsepower turbocharged engine that gets 195 pound-feet of torque.
The interior features cloth and SynTex upholstery and adds dual-zone automatic climate control and a 10.25-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation. This trim also includes blind-spot avoidance assistance, safe exit warning, an electronic parking brake, and navigation-based smart cruise control. The GT-Line trades the standard four-speaker stereo for a six-speaker model with satellite radio.
4. GT
The GT sports 18-inch alloy wheels outside and cloth and SynTex seating with red contrast stitching inside. It incorporates a dual-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, sport-tuned dual exhaust, a flat-bottomed leather-wrapped steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and a wireless phone charger.
Rear parking distance warning, a sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat are available for the Forte GT. This model also adds an extra rear charging port.
5. GT Manual
The manual version of the GT comes with full SynTex upholstery, Michelin summer tires, and a six-speed manual. It adds blind-spot and rear-cross traffic collision warning and a rear parking distance warning. Enjoy the comfort of heated front seats and let in the fresh air with a standard panoramic sunroof. This trim also gives you unique sport seats and the sounds of a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with a subwoofer.
