The GT version of the Forte was to arrive soon, but we expected it to make its debut at the Detroit Motor Show early next year. The South Korean automaker caught us by surprise by releasing the updated Forte GT for the 202 model year. It carries the good looks but adds more grunt and pace to the standard Forte. • In terms of visual tweaks, the Forte GT comes with a new black grille with red accents, gloss-black mirrors, new side skirts, and a rear spoiler. • The gloss-black is seen even on the side sills, rear spoiler, and turn indicators. • The Forte GT can be availed with the optional 18-inch Michelin Sport summer tires that add an extra gist to the car’s overall proportionate and stylish look. • Inside, the seats offer extra bolstering and come with the black-red combination and contrast stitching as well. The Forte GT gets a flat-bottom, leather-wrapped steering wheel and different floor pedals. • Kia will be offering the Forte GT in two trims – GT1 and GT2, and the latter can be availed with a sunroof and ambient lighting. • The GT will be equipped with features likes a rearview camera, heated front seats, automatic climate control, and Kia’s UVO infotainment system that supports Android Auto as well as Apple CarPlay. • Now, the car looks stylish with curves in all the right places, but that hampers with the space within the cabin. The seats are placed low, and the raking roofline at the rear reduces the headroom significantly. Six-footers will call shotgun in every possible situation. The seats are pretty slim and you’ll end up longing for more cushions and bolstering everywhere. Once seated, the Forte GT seems cosy and NVH levels are well-controlled. • The 2020 Forte GT replaces the 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine that produces 201 horses and 195 pound-feet of torque. • This is much better than the standard Forte that is sold with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder and 147 horses and 132 pound-feet of torque on tap. Even the strongest powertrain in the forte, a 2.0-liter, fourpot unit that produces 164 horsepower and 151 ponies is not as good as the GT’s. The same setup is seen on the Hyundai Elantra Sport and the GT Sport. It will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed automatic transmission system with paddle shifters. • Unlike the standard Forte’s torsion beam suspension setup, the Forte GT is offered with multilink arrangement - the same design as that of the Hyundai Elantra Sport. The hot car will also sound better; thanks to the sports-tuned dual exhaust system. • Pricing for the GT has yet to be announced, but considering the fact that the standard 2019 Kia Forte costs around $19,000, we speculate the Forte GT to be priced around $22,000 - $23,000. • MUSIC; • Luxury • Luxury - Free Sounds (No Copyright Ba... • SUBSCRIBE NOW
