Here is Why the 2022 Kia Forte 5 is Unique

The 2022 Kia Forte 5 is a compact sedan-hatchback that combines the best attributes of both of these types of vehicles in order to offer a set of attributes that is very rare on the market`

The style

The 2022 Kia Forte 5 is easy to recognize due to its distinctive style that has the elegance of a sedan and the dynamism of a hatchback. This is achieved by giving the Forte 5 a lower and longer profile instead of the more upright design usually found on small hatchback vehicles. The gently curving roofline also contributes to this appearance by ending at the taillamps instead of dropping off vertically at the back window. Just like the Forte sedan, the Forte 5 has been refreshed for 2022 and it now features a more modern and aggressive style.

The interior space

The 2022 Kia Forte 5 offers more interior space than a regular sedan which is beneficial for both the passengers and the cargo. Indeed, since the roof reaches close to the rear bumper, it doesn’t drop down as quickly as it does on sedans, which provides the rear passengers with more headroom and thus more comfort. Similarly, the increased height under the roof means that the cargo area is more capacious than in equivalent sedans. This is evidenced by the 742 liters of space available behind the split-folding rear seat of the Forte 5.

The available turbocharged engine

The 2022 Kia Forte 5 is available with two engines: a 2.0L four-cylinder and a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder. This last engine is interesting because it produces more power than most other engines that are available in sporty trimmed compact vehicles. Combined with a very quick seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, this engine gives the Forte 5 a level of performance that will satisfy many buyers looking for a practical and affordable car that is also fun to drive.
