Additionally, you’ll enjoy an immersive sound that can be upgraded in the 2019 Kia Forte’s EX trim to a Harmon/Kardon® stereo system.
The mid-range S trim level offers an upgraded experience that takes advantage of Kia’s brand-new i-CVT transmission. This transmission promises smooth shifting with massive projected fuel economy.
