When people come into Kia of Dartmouth to check out the Kia Forte, it's clear to us that they're looking for a well-priced sedan that is still packed with features. We're also aware there is a good chance there are other vehicles they have in mind! The Forte's competitors are the Honda Civic, the Toyota Corolla, and the Nissan Sentra. Click the buttons for in-depth information on how the Forte compares to them all!
The Kia Forte Versus the Honda Civic
- The Forte has a lower price point than the Civic
- All Forte trims come with a touchscreen, which isn't the case with the Civic
- Both cars have standard and available advanced safety features, but the Civic lacks the Driver Attention Warning feature that's standard on the Forte
For many years the Civic has been a strong competitor, but the Forte is nipping at its wheels in key ways.
The Kia Forte Versus the Toyota Corolla
- The Forte has a more powerful engine compared to the Corolla
- The Corolla doesn't have Apple CarPlayâ„¢/Android Autoâ„¢ and the Forte does
- You'll get more seating options for the Forte when it comes to comfort and positioning than with the Corolla
The Forte and the Corolla have close prices. That means shoppers on a budget really compare the two to see which one offers the most for its money. Here are some areas the Forte stands out.
The Kia Forte Versus the Nissan Sentra
- The Sentra's 7-inch touchscreen is shy of the Forte's standard 8-inch screen
- The Forte's base engine is stronger than the Sentra's base engine
- Power seating on the Forte goes to up 10-ways compared to the Sentra's available 6-way seat
Just like Honda and Civic are often held up side by side, so are the Kia and Nissan brands. Here's where the Forte shines against the Sentra.
