2020 Kia Forte GT Detail

Exterior

So, with that all said, let’s see if the rivals should be worried So getting things started with the exterior. The new GT does, of course, share its main styling characteristics with a regular model. But with a lot of changes to the details, for example, the tiger-nose fascia has an exclusive Gloss black grille with little red inserts. And a large GT badge to spice things up All the other areas are also finished in a gloss flat but turning our attention to probably the most distinctive aspect.

We have cool full LED headlights explicitly designed for this 2020 Kia Forte GT. They have a Porsche look to them in the way that the daytime running lights flower out from the main bulb. Then you do also have these separated turn signals and fog light Heading around back.

There are some more distinct elements like how the LED portion of the taillight zig-zags, differently than in the other trims. You also have a black spoiler and unique rear diffuser and even an extra exhaust outlet for the sport-tuned exhaust system.

So overall, you can definitely see the stinger influence in the Forte’s design and Especially so in this spiced up GT trim. Now perhaps the best-looking element of this design is not on the body itself, but the wheels. The GT gets these exclusive large 18-inch tin spoke contrast alloys, which also have a little red outline around. The Kia branding to match with the other accents as far as the tires, it does come standard with all seasons, but we have opted for the $200 Michelin pilot.

So, as you would expect on the top trim of the forte, you do have Kia’s smart entry system as well as their newest key fob, which looks a lot like what you get in the stinger. And they tell you right now Remote start is not available on this on the actual fob itself, but it does come via the 2020 Kia Forte GT you hope.

Interior

Now to get inside the vehicle itself, there’s not a sensor behind the handle, so you push the button. All right, so take a look inside the all-new 2020 Kia Forte GT. As you can see, it does share a lot of the same similarities with the usual forte, but there’s a lot of unique touches that make the GT stand out from the other trim levels.

Now on the GT, the only interior color you’re going to get is black. However, you got two different material choices. Usually, it would come with cloth seats with red stitching; yet This model here has the gt2 package, and that gets us the Sophie know full leather.

Also, in black, of course With the red color contrast stitching and red piping, an attorney over there to the door trim those same materials do hear you over. So, you will find a leather rep across the entire armrest portion with real stitching and color contrast. This top of the part above this here is also soft touch as is the top, and then we do have a kind of faux carbon fiber type design.

Now we do have a standard push-button start, and when you press it, you will find this standard 8-inch display fire up. GT is Now checking out the gauges here; this is the premium version that comes on the 2020 Kia Forte GT package. Now what’s different about them is not so much in the actual measures, but it’s the multifunction display goes from three and a half inches to the premium 4.2 inches set up.

It is flat bottomed on the GT model. We have a beautifully supple leather perforated on the hand grab areas. And you do have some red color contrast stitching as far as your buttons up here; these are just your traditional buttons. So, you’ve got your phone audio and voice commands on the side.

2020 Kia Forte GT Driving

Now we talked about all you know more boring things at aspects of the car, but now we’re to what’s different about the GT. And that’s that they’ve thrown out the powertrain and replaced. It so what you’re going to be looking at with this model is a 1.6 liter turbocharged, 4-cylinder making 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. That is right in line with what most of the competition makes and the other thing they’ve done.

That’s very important is that you have the option of a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Instead of the continuously variable transmission that comes on the standard model now, it is still a front-wheel drive. And then in regards to your fuel economy, you do get pretty good numbers. So, what you’ll be looking at is with the dual-clutch automatic 27 cities, 35 highway, 30 combined.

With the manual, it’s going to be a little bit lower than that 25 City, 32 highway, 28 combined but for all intents and purposes. You know still, it’s really like I’m still finding numbers for something that has performance in mind.
