2022 Kia Forte vs. 2022 Hyundai Elantra: More Value, More Style

The Forte has always been an awesome, value-packed option in the compact sedan world. And although SUVs are gaining in popularity, there will always be room for a quick four-door that can meet and exceed expectations like the Forte does. With plenty of interior space, unique interior styling and high-efficiency powertrains, the Forte charges forward and provides everything one needs in a car.

Here, we compare the 2022 Kia Forte with the 2022 Hyundai Elantra.

The 2022 Kia Forte’s base engine is more efficient

Both the Kia Forte and the Hyundai Elantra have similar engines in terms of performance. However, because fuel consumption is so important in a compact sedan, the Forte’s powertrain is more efficient. The Forte’s base 6-speed manual transmission is more advanced than the Elantra’s manual gearbox, enabling it to have a city fuel consumption of 8.6 L/100 km. With the Elantra, the fuel consumption rating in the city is higher, at 9.1 L/100 km.

Those who don’t choose the manual gearbox can also opt for Kia’s Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) which is much more responsive and much better calibrated than Hyundai’s traditional continuously variable transmission (CVT).

More space and more style inside the 2022 Kia Forte

The Kia Forte may look small and compact, but it is cleverly engineered to offer a maximum amount of cargo volume. With 434 litres of volume in the trunk, you’ll never have to leave anything behind with the Forte. The Elantra, on the other hand, only gives you 402 litres.

The Forte also uses this design to create a better driving experience for drivers and passengers alike.  While the Elantra focusses on the basics in terms of comfort, the Forte delivers more with refined textures, comfortable as well as a more intuitive infotainment system filled with useful features.

The Forte also offers technologies like the revolutionary available UVO Intelligence system, which provides a series of connected car services so you can interact with your Kia remotely with your smartphone to access diagnostics, unlock and start the car, and much more.

The Kia Forte is a better car than the Elantra thanks to its style, efficiency and interior design that gives you more. You can shop for your car online with us. Our representatives are waiting for your call and can answer all your questions.
