Kia Forte
The Forte’s current generation is due for a mid-cycle update. That’s what the 2022 model brings to the table. The redesigned front and rear ends make the car look more modern and more aggressive, while the interior is available with a new 10.25-inch touchscreen. The same two engines are back, generating 147 and 201 horsepower, but safety is enhanced with many new available features. Want more versatility? Get the five-door Forte5.
