Close 5 Interior Features You Will Love In the 2018 Kia Forte
Kia’s flagship compact sedan has experienced several upgrades this model year. We’re particularly impressed with what the manufacturer has done with the car’s cabin. You’re sure to love these interior features of the 2018 Kia Forte.
Leather-Trimmed Seats
You can equip your new 2018 Kia Forte with available leather-trimmed seats. There are many advantages to leather upholstery. In addition to having a certain element of prestige and style, leather surfaces are much easier to keep clean. When properly conditioned and maintained, leather seats have a genuine shine that lends an air of luxury to your Forte’s cabin. Of course, those who prefer cloth seats can have their Forte finished with woven or premium cloth instead.
Ventilated Front Seats
If there’s one drawback to leather seats, it’s that they can heat up quickly in the summer sun. Kia has neatly solved this problem by introducing available ventilated front seats. The vents allow for the proper circulation of air, keeping your back and legs cool at all time. And if you’re driving in a colder climate, don’t worry — Kia has also equipped the Forte’s front seats with heaters to keep you warm. Thanks to these features, the 2018 Kia Forte is comfortable in any weather.
Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control
As if the heated and ventilated seats weren’t luxurious enough, Kia has upped the ante by including a dual-zone automatic temperature control system in the 2018 Forte. This is an air-conditioning and heating system with separate settings and controls for both the driver and front-row passenger. Like some of the Forte’s other premium features, this system is not available on the LX or S trims. However, it comes as a standard feature on the EX trim.
Power-Operated Sunroof
Choose either the S or EX trim of the 2018 Kia Forte to obtain one of the ultimate driving luxuries: a power-operated sunroof. Tilt the sunroof with the press of a button to take advantage of better ventilation and increased airflow, or completely retract the glass to enjoy the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. If you’ve chosen the EX trim, you’ll have access to the available EX Premium Plus Package. This package includes the sunroof, as well as projector beam headlights and a host of active safety features.
Excellent Visibility and Space
As soon as you sit behind the wheel of the 2018 Kia Forte, you’ll be struck by how the compact car manages to provide you with such a wide field of view. Reviewers have noted the vehicle’s thin roof pillars and large back window, both of which let you see your car’s surroundings as clearly as possible. Naturally, this is of the highest importance when it comes to driving safely. There’s also plenty of room in the cabin to store personal belongings, with a variety of small storage compartments within easy reach.
Drivers looking for a compact car with a few sporty elements might find just what they need in the 2018 Kia Forte. We’re confident they’ll have a comfortable and convenient experience with every drive, thanks to the car’s well-designed cabin.
