The all-new 2019 Kia Forte in Montreal

You'll finally be able to try the all-new 2019 Kia Forte in fall of 2018 at the Montreal, West Island, DDO and Laval dealerships. For its newest edition, this superb sedan arrives with a new platform that is 26% more rigid, higher, longer and larger than its predecessor. This makes it one of the largest sedans in its class.

The only engine that will be available is a 2.0 L 4-cylinder with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. Combined with this engine is an automatic transmission with Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). You'll get the new infotainment system with 8-inch touchscreen, that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a revised suspension.

As for aesthetics, they've lengthened the hood and shortened the trunk, giving it a sportier look. Its grille was also modified and at the back you'll see a horizontal stripe that connects the rear lights, to striking effect.

Given the longer and larger frame, there is now more leg room as well as more space in the trunk. They've also improved the comfort level of the seats thanks to a denser foam and improved lumbar support. The passenger compartment is now quieter and the more horizontal dashboard, is simpler.

They've integrated the UVO telematics system, giving you access to, among others, safety features, vehicle diagnostics and remote services, wireless charging platform, and Bluetooth system that will read your texts out loud. Now that they have reviewed and corrected the suspension, Kia promises a gentler ride and offers you an optimized drive.

We'll have to be patient until fall to take the new 2019 Kia Forte out for a spin at your Kia Spinelli dealership in Montreal, near the West Island and only minutes from Laval. You can take advantage of the many benefits of Kia promotions and of course the Kia financing plans that are available to you, at really great rates.
