2018 KIA FORTE LX

This 2018 Kia Forte LX presents a compelling option in the compact sedan segment, offering a well-rounded package for everyday driving. Under the hood, it's powered by a 2.0-liter MPI Nu engine, delivering a respectable 147 horsepower and featuring a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. This setup provides a balanced blend of efficiency and adequate performance, competitive with many of its peers in the 2018 model year. The LX trim, while a strong base, still comes equipped with standard features like a backup camera and a direct tire pressure monitoring system, enhancing driver awareness. Notable safety features include standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Traction Control, alongside curtain airbags for both rows and front/side airbags for driver and passenger safety. With 26 historical records and 21 available auction photos, this Forte LX offers a good starting point for a detailed inspection. While it may not have all the advanced driver-assistance systems as some higher trims or newer models, the core safety technologies and a dependable powertrain make it a sensible choice.
