2023 Kia Forte GT Overview near San Marcos, TX

2023 Kia Forte GT Overview near San Marcos, TX

2023 Kia Forte GT shown with available features.

When shopping for your next compact sedan, we at World Car Kia New Braunfels recommend the 2023 Kia Forte. In particular, the GT trim is sure to cause a stir, thanks to the many add-ons you'll get to enjoy. After reading some of the following key details, you're invited to our location to see it in person.

Exterior

While piloting a compact car might mean you're settling for a less-than-stellar outer shell, that won't be the case when you take home the Forte GT. This version is already stylish on its own with a striking design, but you'll be treated to a number of eye-catching features. If you're cruising through San Marcos after sundown, you'll appreciate that the GT comes with LED headlights, offering superb clarity. Dual exhaust tips are also included, which can instill some envy from similar sedans while out on the road. Then, to tower over other competitors, you'll have 18-inch alloy wheels to get the job done. Then, to replace the tire mobility kit that's included on descending trim levels, the GT comes with a space-saving spare tire.

Interior

If you're eager to travel long distances, you'll want to do so with the 2023 Kia Forte GT. For starters, certain models come with the available 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, which includes lumbar adjustment. Already, you'll be prepared to face the day! When you combine that with the optional heating and ventilation settings for the front-row positions, you won't have a problem being the carpool leader. When you turn your attention to the steering wheel, you'll find that they include paddle shifters that are exclusive to this trim level. We also couldn't forget to mention that the GT comes standard with a rear USB port and a wireless station1 that are both equipped to charge compatible devices. That way, everyone's phones will be powered up by the time you reach Bicentennial Park.

Performance

Lastly, we'd like to highlight some of the mechanics that are featured in the Kia Forte GT. Thanks to the 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, you'll go from one end of Camino Road to the other in a flash. That's because this system churns out a lively 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. Don't think all of this verve will send you straight to the pump to fill up, because you'll still get to enjoy an estimated 27/35/30 MPG city/hwy/combined2 fuel economy rating. Then, to accelerate with power and precision, the GT has a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Feel free to fill out our Finance Application to get started on the buying process.

  • 18-inch wheels

The staff there are wonderful and really work hard to make sure that they meet your needs. Jay helped us through the whole experience and was always positive and willing to answer all of our questions at any time of the day. My fiance and I had very specific needs for our vehicle and Jay worked with us through everything to make sure we found the car we both wanted and needed that fit our specifications. Unlike certain dealers in the area, never once did we feel pressured to buy immediately, Jay made sure that what we were looking at was exactly what we wanted. He made sure that we were comfortable with the whole car buying experience and were 100% satisfied with what we picked out. Thank you Jay and World Car! You definitely have our business any time we need a new car!

I just went there for an oil change. Reception was fine, service was timely and they offer coffee and WiFi free of charge. I was happy. They also washed my car for free. Can't beat that.

Rudy is the friendliest, kindest guy you could meet when shopping for a car. I could write a whole essay about how nice and thoughtful he is, but the most important thing is that he listens to you. He will listen to you when you tell him what you need and want and he will do his best for you. I met him through my dad when I bought my first car. He knew I was already in love with the Soul, but he made sure I didn't leave without being completely informed on all its features. I referred my fiance Brandon to him a year later when he was replacing his used car. Rudy helped him through the process of buying and familiarizing him with the Optima that Brandon had chosen. A month didn't even pass before we got a referral check from him in the mail. Whether you know what you want already or not - Rudy can help you out. I highly recommend speaking to him if you stop by. And if he's reading this, thank you again for everything!
