Kia Forte
The 2019 model year was all about the Forte sedan; in 2020, it’s the Forte5’s turn to shine. Aesthetically, both cars are very similar, but the hatchback looks more dynamic thanks to a standard GT Line appearance package. Each one offers a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 147 horsepower through a continuously variable transmission, plus the option of a turbocharged 1.6-litre unit delivering 201 horsepower via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
