2014 Kia Forte

The all-new 2014 Kia Forte is a significant upgrade compared to its predecessor, which thanks to former Audi designer Peter Schreyer no longer looks like an ersatz Honda Civic. Helping differentiate the Kia from a Sentra or Corolla is the 173-horsepower, 2.0 inline-four for in the EX trim, which above 2000 rpm gives plenty of power for short highway onramp merges.
