This well-engineered sedan is proof that affordability does not have to come at the expense of comfort, quality, or peace of mind. Designed with real drivers in mind, the Forte LX offers a refined driving experience, efficient performance, and a feature-rich interior that makes every commute, errand, or road trip enjoyable.
Whether you are a first-time buyer, a commuter looking to save on fuel costs, a student needing dependable transportation, or a family searching for a practical second vehicle, the 2017 Kia Forte LX checks all the right boxes. With Kias reputation for reliability and long-term value, this sedan remains one of the smartest choices in its class.
Modern and Timeless Exterior Design
The 2017 Kia Forte LX features a clean, modern exterior design that continues to look fresh and appealing years after its release. Kias signature tiger-nose grille anchors the front end, giving the Forte a confident and recognizable appearance. Sleek headlights, sculpted body lines, and well-proportioned dimensions create a balanced design that feels both sporty and sophisticated.
From the side, the Fortes aerodynamic profile not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to improved fuel efficiency and reduced road noise. The smooth contours and subtle chrome accents elevate its look, making it stand out in a crowded compact sedan segment.
At the rear, the Forte maintains its refined styling with wraparound taillights and a clean, uncluttered design. The result is a sedan that looks equally at home in a professional setting, a college campus, or a suburban driveway.
Comfortable and Well-Designed Interior
Step inside the 2017 Kia Forte LX, and youll immediately notice a thoughtfully designed cabin that prioritizes comfort, simplicity, and functionality. Kia has long been known for maximizing interior space, and the Forte LX is no exception.
The interior materials are durable and well-assembled, offering a solid, quality feel throughout. The layout is intuitive, with controls placed exactly where you expect them to be. From the drivers seat, visibility is excellent, making city driving and parking stress-free.
The front seats provide ample support for long drives, while the rear seats offer generous legroom for passengers, making this sedan comfortable for adults as well as children. Whether youre driving solo or carrying a full load of passengers, the Forte LX delivers a relaxed and enjoyable ride.
Impressive Cargo Space and Practicality
One of the biggest advantages of the 2017 Kia Forte LX is its practicality. The spacious trunk provides plenty of room for groceries, luggage, sports equipment, or work supplies. With a wide opening and low lift-over height, loading and unloading items is quick and easy.
For added versatility, the rear seats can accommodate longer items, making this sedan surprisingly capable when it comes to hauling everyday cargo. This level of practicality is perfect for drivers who want the convenience of a sedan without sacrificing utility.
Efficient and Reliable Performance
Under the hood, the 2017 Kia Forte LX is powered by a dependable 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers smooth, consistent performance. This engine strikes an excellent balance between power and efficiency, providing responsive acceleration for city driving and confident cruising on the highway.
Paired with either a smooth automatic transmission or a responsive manual option (depending on configuration), the Forte LX delivers a driving experience that feels composed and easy to control. Steering is precise, braking is confident, and the suspension is tuned to absorb bumps and imperfections in the road, resulting in a comfortable ride in
