A C-Segment Icon Turned Steady Seller

Introduced in the early days of Kia’s design-driven management, Forte was a C-segment sedan that combined style and practicality with the largest dimensions in its class and advanced features like voice-recognition navigation. It enjoyed steady sales in global markets, particularly in North America, and remained a long-running model until 2024, when K4 unified Kia’s compact sedan lineup.
