The 2.0L is an Atkinson cycle engine; used in the Corolla and others as it is extremely efficient and CVT or iVT allow the limitations to be negatable. Effectively you lose torque in exchange of the engine delivering much better fuel economy as the engine just moves without resistance on the upward stroke in the firing cycle. It opens one valve early to allow the air to escape instead of build resistance as the cylinder moves up. Low torque your solution is a multi-gear transmission which the iVT is ideally suited for; and more ideal than the CVT (still very good) because the iVT can adjust it shifting points or placements; where as a CVT has to have it shift points preset. To better explain - the Chrysler made Neon's had a BMW designed engine (so very new) but they only had (until later model years) the old but inexpensive 3 speed automatic (actually modified out of he Omni/Horizon cars). They needed BMW to design the engine to trade off horsepower for more torque as torque makes up for lack of gears (Bob Lutz wrote about this).
Why is it 5 year warranty? Is it just in Canada. I just bought one that has 10 year 200,000 warranty and for a little extra they will make it bumper to bumper warranty. I love it. It's a great little car. 43 mpg on highway 34 avg. In sport mode its got a little kick to it so your not gonna get run over when u pull out on the hwy. Lol. I drove one for 2 weeks as a rental while in the Jasper, Banf area lived it so much bought one few months later in the states.
Canada does a 5 year warranty. In other markets, the 10 year warranty only stays with the original owner, whereas in Canada the warranty is on the vehicle, regardless of how many owners.
Hi Rohit, Smart cruise control is adaptive cruise control. This feature will maintain a preset distance from the vehicle ahead of you and will slow you down all the way to a stop if needed. This feature is available in the EX Premium trim and above on the Kia Forte. - Gabi
Want to get the Lx but all dealerships so far (3) have been shady about pricing and only wanted to do it in person. It's a 26k car after taxes but they gave me a paper that says total 32k. Keep trying to add on extras.. Are there any honest dealerships in the Toronto area? I'm a new buyer and everyone is trying to scam me. It's already stressful spending this much money and waiting months for the car.. sad that this is how it is.
Hi, we are located in Brantford, Ontario! Only one hour away from the GTA. Our dealership does not have any market adjustments and we pride ourselves in being an honest dealership. If you’d like to go over options, please contact me directly at gabi@brantfordkia.ca
Just got one 2 days ago, have you had any complaints about misfiring on the 2023 models? I feel like mine is misfiring. Will take it to the dealership. Also how do they not have rear wiper blades?
Hi Gabi! Can you please show us how to connect the phone for the wireless android auto/ apple car play, in one of the upcoming tutorial video ? Thanks:)
If you don't mind me asking; did the total price of the car included an extended warranty and an oil change as a bundle package? of course the bundle package for a price? Thank you in advance for your prompt response.!!
I've owned my forte for 6 years, 64k miles. I did have a trunk issue which was fixed due to recall. Other than that it's been problem free. My 2 complaints are that the interior is cheap and it's very underpowered. I am now looking to getting either a 24 Elantra N or sonata n line 🤔
I have my Icy Bluuuuuuueeeeee 2023 Kia Forte EX+ from Bannister Chilliwack (BC, Canada) and it is truly a badass... BTW, Gabi you're so beautiful and where's your bear buddy?
Personally I feel the GT is so competitively priced for what it offers to these lower trims, not sure why people even bother buying these trims. The GT is a night and day car compared to the lower level trims
If I had a choice between Gabbi or the 2023 forte lxs because forte cheaper Gabbi flawless love both I just paid 26000 outs the door put 1200 hundred miles would purchase again Kia family ❤
Forte was a good looking design but this one if you see front you can see under front lights, little bit out side on both sides you have like air vents that make ugly look
Good job Gabi! May be it's bit boring and explain about the car in the showroom but explaining while driving on the road or park the car at some beautiful location like other car reviewers does it's more engaging to the viewers in my opinion. 🙂
While we totally agree with you, unfortunately almost all the cars we film are sold units belonging to customers. With current wait times we don't want to run the risk of anything happening to the car. In the future once we receive actual dealer stock we will absolutely do test drive videos!
Why does Kia still use an actual key instead of a key fob?, I find a key fob a good feature because you don’t need to look for your key in your pocket or purse to open the door or start the car.
I'm just here for Gabi. She is too beautiful !
Yes she is !
He'll yeaaaa
Agreed!
Certified "do you come with the car" moment
Simp
Are the transmissions reliable or should I stick with Toyota? Are these expensive to insure? Thanks
Finally got my 2023 Forte in Sporty Blue last week! Sweet car, I think I use the lane follow assist way more than I'm supposed to lool
Nice Video!
Hi did you get the Kia Forte exl
@@lindasanders9978 Hi Linda, not sure what the EXL trim is, but I got the EX.
@@abelade hi. From.which dealership u got? And u paid any markup?
what was the actual price to pay? not talking about the MSRP
Hey! Do Kia Fortes come standard with summer or all season tires? Great vid
Who else is with me to see Gabi only😂
YYYYYYes!
Hahaha ya
I'm not even shopping for a car and yet she is all over my recommendations. The algorithm is onto me.
For some reason i listen her videos as asmr 😂
Haha
Gabi is stunning. Be honest guys. How many of you are here to see the cars ?
She is so pretty
Me. I’m buying a car, not a woman.
I LOVE my 2020 Kia Forte GT! I must admit it would look much better with Gabi sitting in it.🥰
Oh yeah !
Sure does!!!
bruh...
Holy heck, I came on here to check a car out and I totally didn’t even notice the car 😬
creep
Grow up
Remote starter is not included?

FIRST 🥇! Excellent 👍 explanation on this fine looking Forte! You are an outstanding reviewer. So glad I found the station ☺️.
Wow, thanks!
Does it have an adaptive cruise control and stop and go? Whats the smart cruise control on higher trims
Hi Rohit, Smart cruise control is adaptive cruise control. This feature will maintain a preset distance from the vehicle ahead of you and will slow you down all the way to a stop if needed. This feature is available in the EX Premium trim and above on the Kia Forte. - Gabi
Gabby , that's why I watch!!
that inflator kit would be so useful hope more companies will add this, I could use it for my bike and stand up surfboard
What are the stock tires this car comes with new?
I have a question, I bought a cancelled forte EX+ ALL BLACK edition. what does ALL BLACK means except for the blackened Kia logos?
What's the wait for a Kia Forte EX 2023 right now?
Is led fog lamps on option on the EX?
In Canada fog lamps are only available on the GT-Line and GT-Limited trims
Well done Gabi! - The only reason to consider a Kia is due to her!
Well done Gabi! Very well explained! Keep on going! 👍
Thank you! Will do!
The man upstairs really took his time on this one.

Any new features in 23 forte compared to 22?
can you get this model with remote starter installed by dealer?
Yes
The 2.0L is a MPI injection engine not GDI which is better cause you won't have carbon build up issues.
It's an MPI! I'm not sure if we said it was a GDI, but you're 100% correct.
The car is fantastic and you're a fantastic fantasy. Thanks Gaby, great review. I'll definitely get one.
Just got one 2 days ago, have you had any complaints about misfiring on the 2023 models? I feel like mine is misfiring. Will take it to the dealership. Also how do they not have rear wiper blades?
No complaints about misfiring! If your getting a hesitation, definitely have them road test it with you.
Hi Gabi!
Can you please show us how to connect the phone for the wireless android auto/ apple car play, in one of the upcoming tutorial video ?
Thanks:)
Got my 2022 Forte EX in Sporty Blue last week.
If you don't mind me asking; did the total price of the car included an extended warranty and an oil change as a bundle package? of course the bundle package for a price? Thank you in advance for your prompt response.!!
Awesome video thanks Gabi for the review 😊
We don’t have that in uk but it’s a good looking car
I've owned my forte for 6 years, 64k miles. I did have a trunk issue which was fixed due to recall. Other than that it's been problem free. My 2 complaints are that the interior is cheap and it's very underpowered. I am now looking to getting either a 24 Elantra N or sonata n line 🤔
So if someone is looking at a forte… I assume you would recommend the GT?
great job on the review! thanks for sharing.
I have my Icy Bluuuuuuueeeeee 2023 Kia Forte EX+ from Bannister Chilliwack (BC, Canada) and it is truly a badass... BTW, Gabi you're so beautiful and where's your bear buddy?
Personally I feel the GT is so competitively priced for what it offers to these lower trims, not sure why people even bother buying these trims. The GT is a night and day car compared to the lower level trims
People don’t have unlimited money🤦♂️
Only 100,000 KM for Canadian 5 year warranty? That’s almost 40,000 less miles than in the states for 100,000 mile coverage
What happened to the Forte5? The Hatchback?
We still have them here in Canada!
The Forte5 is still around! The 2023 follows the same specs as the 2023 Forte - just as a hatchback.
I miss my forte tradded it for a seltos need a winter vehicle 😭😭😭
Atkinson MPI Naturally Aspirated 4 Cylinder Engine with 147 horsepower!
One of my faves for a long.. gotta be manual tho
I love my manual GT… so much fun to drive. Are you in the market?
The sport drive is very close to being like driving with manual. It will red line before it changes gears unless u change it first.
$22,095, Really for an EX, did I hear that correctly?
There is something about Gabi. She is gorgeous
Gabi 🌹❤️
If I had a choice between Gabbi or the 2023 forte lxs because forte cheaper Gabbi flawless love both I just paid 26000 outs the door put 1200 hundred miles would purchase again Kia family ❤
I have a 2022 Soul, I'm only here for one thing.
I wonder what that is ? 😝
Forte was a good looking design but this one if you see front you can see under front lights, little bit out side on both sides you have like air vents that make ugly look

Hi can you start from inside the house.
Hi Linda. remote start is included on the EX Premium trim and up. However it can also be added on at any time through an after market accessory
Why does Kia still use an actual key instead of a key fob?, I find a key fob a good feature because you don’t need to look for your key in your pocket or purse to open the door or start the car.
We agree! We love a proximity key! For that feature, you would have to move up to the EX Premium.
Gabi are you spanish do you speak spanish ?
Als KIA-Fahrer finde ich es schade, daß dieses Modell nicht in Bayern angeboten wird.
I need kia carnes video please
I’m in love
I'm pretty sure it's MPI engine vs. GDI one.
Correction - The limited Elantra has turn signal indicators on the side mirrors
We all know we are not here for the Forte.
Hi👋👋👋Gabi
