2024 Kia Forte for Sale near Joliet, IL
Exterior of the 2024 Kia Forte with available options shown above.
Stylishly drive through the streets of Joliet in the 2024 Kia Forte, a compact sedan that is a pleasure to live with. We encourage you to see its illustrious design here at Gerald Kia of Matteson, and to also hop aboard its homey interior. Before you visit us at our location to do so, make sure to gain some background knowledge about it by perusing the overview below!
Performance
Due to the Forte’s compact body style and its fine-tuned mechanisms under the hood, you can expect it to nimbly make its way through North Chicago Street without a hitch. Administering just a slight tap of the accelerator, you’ll immediately feel the spirited agility of 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque that is brought forth by a standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. To unleash the full potency of the Forte, look toward springing for the GT and GT Manual trims of this sedan. They are equipped with a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder powertrain, that has the ability to displace 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. The standard engine configuration is paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission, which helps it optimize performance levels without sacrificing gas mileage. To support this claim, you’ll find that you can take advantage of the Forte’s 30/41/34 MPG city/hwy/combined1 estimated fuel economy rating for long journeys ahead.
Design
When the 2024 Kia Forte rests on your driveway, you’ll feel compelled to put its show-stopping exterior on full display by taking it for a trip to the Joliet Area Historical Museum. Amidst the trek there, onlookers will double-take as they take in the visage of your vehicle, which is made up of standard Projector Beam Headlights and a black grille. Its profile is composed of standard 15-inch steel wheels and standard body-colored side-view mirrors, which adds to the sleekness of this sedan. To add a few points of flair to the Forte, it’s encouraged that you move up to the GT and GT Manual iterations of this vehicle. Doing so will embellish it with a rear spoiler, dual-exhaust tips, black gloss mirrors, and shimmering 18-inch alloy wheels. You’ll have a few ways to dress this model up to your liking, as you can choose from distinguishable paint hues that vary from the bold Fire Orange to the elegant Deep Sea Blue.
Comfort and Convenience
It’s advisable that you extend an invitation to your friends to take a trip with you to the Joliet East Side Historic District in the Kia Forte, seeing how its interior graces everyone onboard with amenities geared toward comfort. Adjust the standard woven cloth seats to your liking using the standard 6-way manual driver’s seat, enabling you to find an agreeable position for the upcoming trip. If your mobile device happens to be low on juice, make sure to place it on the available wireless phone charger2 to bring it back up to 100 percent while you’re en route. The optional leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel is tactile and conveys sportiness, adding just the right amount of garnish to the interior of this vehicle. By opting for the available sunroof, all occupants within the cabin will have the luxury of getting a feel for an open and airy cabin. You should contact us to get a first-hand experience of what it’s like to pilot this sedan!

“ Great dealership. I’ve had the best experiences buying all three cars there. Sales staff and service staff are excellent. Robert is always great with explaining how my car is being taken care of. Update: Vincent was great today. Very attentive, giving me updates. The new dealership set up is very nice. He walked me to my car after service. He was a very nice professional young man. ”
