2023 Kia Forte Overview

Compact sedans are making a comeback as more drivers are in the market for affordable cars that are fun to drive, good on gas and feature modern amenities and technologies. One of the top options on the market when it comes to pure value proposition is the 2023 Kia Forte, which you can now test-drive, purchase and lease at Ken Ganley Kia Alliance. Notable updates for the new model include expanded standard equipment and options. Kia has also changed the base trim level name to the LX in order to reflect those changes, and the up-level options are the LXS, GT-Line and GT. Another popular option is the 2023 Toyota Corolla, which arrives with a slate of exciting changes and is offered in four trim levels: LE, XLE, SE and XSE. With all of this renewed interest in small sedans, let’s compare the 2023 Kia Forte vs 2023 Toyota Corolla and see how these two affordable and compelling options measure up.

Alliance OH - 2023 Kia Forte's Overview

Exterior - Kia Dealer serving Alliance OH

Both of these vehicles are compact four-door sedans. The 2023 Kia Forte has a 5.3-inch ground clearance, a 106.3-inch wheelbase and a 182.7-inch length, which is a bit more than 15 feet. The 2023 Toyota Corolla, on the other hand, has a 5.3-inch ground clearance as well, also a 106.3-inch wheelbase and a slightly lesser overall length at 182.5 inches. Kia includes 15-inch steel wheels with the base trim, 16-inch alloy wheels with the up-level trim, 17-inch wheels with the GT-Line and 18-inch wheels with the GT. Toyota goes with 16-inch steels for the base model, upgrades them to alloy with the up-level trim and provides 18-inch wheels with the SE and XSE.

Interior - 2023 Kia Forte in Alliance OH

These are both five-passenger vehicles. Despite the similar overall size of these sedans, Kia does more with the available space. Headroom is similar at 38 inches. Front legroom is similar at 42 inches, but the 2023 Kia Forte has about 36 inches of rear legroom and almost a full inch more than the 2023 Toyota Corolla, which makes a real difference with adults seated back there. In addition, Kia provides you more than 15 cubic feet of storage space in the trunk, which is more than 2 cubic feet more than the Toyota.

Kia Forte Mechanical specs

Both Kia and Toyota opt for a continuously variable automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels. Kia and Toyota both opt for 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Fuel economy is similar in both cases, and while Toyota has made some improvements that give its engine more output on paper, and practical differences in acceleration are nominal. Kia also gives you the option of a sport sedan with a turbocharged engine and either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed automatic with a dual clutch. Toyota does not but does offer a sportier Corolla within this trim structure but does offer Corolla GR as a separate model.

Technology - 2023 Kia Forte dealer

There are a lot of similarities when comparing the 2023 Kia Forte vs 2023 Toyota Corolla as far as the tech is concerned. In both cases, an 8-inch infotainment touch screen is standard. The standard driver assists are close. Notable differences are that Kia includes basic cruise control rather than adaptive cruise control, and Toyota does not offer driver attention monitoring. Both add blind-spot monitoring with the up-level trim, but Ken Ganley Kia Alliance offers features that you won’t find with the Toyota, such as pedestrian and cyclist avoidance and navigation-based cruise control.
