A look at the impressive new 2023 Kia Forte GT Limited

We have talked about the new 2023 Kia Forte extensively since the model was announced earlier this year. Now that the new Kia Forte has arrived on the market, we get a better look at the different options and versions that it offers and as is usually the case with Kia, the 2023 Forte packs a ton of value and features. This is particularly true in the new 2023 Kia Forte GT Limited, the top-of-the-line Kia Forte model.

Kia vehicles have always stood out for their long list of standard features, but also for the features that the brand’s upscale trims offer. This is true in the 2023 Kia Forte GT Limited that really ups the ante when it comes to the equipment you find in a new compact sedan. Let's look at some of the features offered in the 2023 Kia Forte GT Limited that help it stand out even among the most high-end trims found in other compact sedans.

A powerful turbocharged engine with 201 hp

The 2023 Kia Forte GT Limited comes standard with a 1.6 L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that packs 201 hp and 195 pound-feet of torque. This is one of the most powerful engines in this segment and it can be yours for under $40,000 which is not something commonly seen, even in the most powerful top-of-the-line compact sedan trims on the market.

This engine stands out with just how smooth it is and how quick it is to react when you accelerate or want to pass. There is little hesitation and the ample low-end torque pushes you forward with confidence. There is definitely a significant difference between the way the 2023 Kia Forte GT Limited behaves on the road compared to the entry-level Forte. That model also shines with its performance, but the GT Limited takes it one step further and you will feel those 201 ponies as soon as you nudge the accelerator.

That said, you will also be impressed at the fuel economy of the 2023 Kia Forte GT Limited. Despite having a much more powerful engine, the fuel economy rating is just 8.7 L per 100 km in the city and 6.6 L per 100 km on the highway. In other words, you are not compromising on fuel efficiency when you decide to treat yourself to the top-of-the-line GT Limited model and its extra horsepower.

A long list of impressive features

The 2023 Kia Forte overall delivers remarkable value with features such as heated front seats and a heated steering wheel as well as an advanced suite of active safety technologies offered for less than the competition. That said, the GT Limited takes it to another level in terms of what it offers.

Want ventilated front seats in your compact sedan to keep you comfortable in summer the way heated front seats keep you comfy in winter? The GT Limited offers front ventilated seats. Do you want to make sure that your rear seat passengers are as comfortable as you are in cold weather? You get rear heated seats in the Forte GT Limited. You also get just about every single active safety technology you can in a modern vehicle and you get a centre display measuring 10.25 inches housing the latest Kia infotainment system. Pair this with an exclusive design that includes a rear diffuser, distinct red accents, and standard 18-inch wheels, and you get a very appealing sedan.

In simple terms, 2023 Kia GT Limited Forte is one of the most luxurious and feature-rich compact sedans you can buy. Give us a call today to learn more about the impressive Kia Forte GT Limited and everything it offers.
