Redesigned for 2014, Kia's new Forte sedan now shares platforms with the Elantra from affiliated automaker Hyundai. Longer and wider than its predecessor, the redesigned Forte competes with a familiar slate of compacts, among them the Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus, Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. Typical of Kia's recent redesigns, the Forte has a number of luxury options uncommon to the segment. It is also sold as a two-door model, called the Forte Koup, which is listed elsewhere in the Cars.com Research section.
