Get your adrenaline rush with the all-new Kia Forte GT’s 204 horses

Forte. It is an expression of power, of strength; of an exceptional ability cutting above the rest. In music, it means to be louder, bolder, stronger – to feel the rush unleashed in a snap. In life, it’s reflected through the people with the desire for speed. The Kia Forte GT is a feisty echo of that ignited passion.

This car radiates power, with styling cues from the intimidating Kia Stinger. Its aggressive fascia with signature LEDs is complemented by a blacked-out Tiger Nose Grill with red accents. In the rear, there are dual exhaust pipes, a duck tail spoiler in black and again, a signature LED rear lighting. The Forte GT has a brawny beltline, giving it a well-proportioned shape.

Driving the Forte is like taking a speed-pill. It’s the most powerful compact sedan in its class; leaving its Japanese and even entry British rivals miles behind. Shifting it to Sport Mode means business. Doing so unleashes all of Forte GT’s 204 horses under the hood, thanks to its 1.6L inline-four turbocharged gasoline direct injection engine. A maximum pull of 265 Nm is on tap from around 1,500-4,500 rpm, making this vehicle quick on overtakes. Even for a front-wheel drive, the feisty car on seven-speed dual clutch transmission makes the car more responsive and gives an overall adrenaline-pumped connection between car and driver.

The Kia Forte GT is not for the fainthearted. It’s for people with the audacity to perform on and off the racetrack. SRP for the Kia Forte GT starts at R1,650,000.
