2021 KIA FORTE INTERIOR

2021 KIA FORTE INTERIOR TECHNOLOGY

The first thing you’ll notice when you enter the cabin of the 2021 Kia Forte is the infotainment system, which includes the following standard tech:

• 8-inch touchscreen display
• Apple CarPlay®
• Android Auto™
• Bluetooth® wireless technology

The 8-inch touchscreen acts as your command center as you hit the road, and it can fill you in on all kinds of details, like audio, climate, and phone call information.

Bluetooth® hands-free technology is also a standard feature. This lets you wirelessly connect your smartphone with your Kia car’s speakers so you can answer important phone calls without taking your hands off the wheel.

For full smartphone integration, you can enjoy standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. These features link your device with your infotainment touchscreen so you can access your favorite apps on the go. These phone apps include features like navigation, phone calls and contacts, text messaging with voice-to-text functionality, and audio streaming.

That’s not all this touchscreen display can do! When you shift into reverse, it’ll transform into a Rear-Camera Display. Get a clear view of the area directly behind your Kia vehicle so you can back out of a tight parking spot more safely.

You’ll also have available interior technology options for your Kia Forte, like:

• UVO eServices with voice recognition and SiriusXM® Satellite Radio.
• UVO link Voice-Command Navigation System with SiriusXM® Traffic and HD Radio.

Wireless charging is available as well as a Harman Kardon® 320-watt premium audio system with eight speakers and an integrated subwoofer.

THE DESIGN OF THE KIA FORTE INTERIOR

The 2021 Kia Forte interior presents an intuitive and modern design that floats its infotainment touchscreen above the center dashboard. Doing this puts it closer to your line of sight. The Forte uses smart design elements, like horizontal lines, to create a feeling of spaciousness inside the cabin.

You can decorate the interior with a variety of seat trims, including comfortable woven cloth. If you want that sporty leather feel while staying eco-friendly, you can also choose available SOFINO leatherette.

Seats are available in a range of colors, including:

• Black Woven Cloth.
• Gray Woven Cloth.
• Black SOFINO Leather with White Stitching.
• Black SOFINO Leather with Red Stitching.

If you really want to open things up and make your color scheme pop, opt for the available power sunroof, and breathe in plenty of fresh air.

FORTE DIMENSIONS AND SEATING

The 2021 Forte is a compact Kia sedan, but it uses its interior space well. It can seat a total of five passengers between its first and second rows and features an increased length from the previous model year to give rear-seat passengers an extension of legroom. It also has a higher roof than previous iterations to provide passengers with even more headroom.

You can see the interior dimensions in the table below:

2021 Kia Forte Interior Dimensions
Interior volume (without sunroof)	96 cubic feet
Headroom (front/rear)	38.8 inches/37.5 inches
Legroom (front/rear)	42.2 inches/35.7 inches
Trunk volume	15.3 cubic feet

If you need even more cargo space than the 15.3 cubic feet in the trunk, the second row gives you the flexibility of available 60/40 split-folding seats. Split-folding seats allow you to fold down the rear seats to extend your trunk space into the cabin of the Kia Forte. This way, you can accommodate longer items like skis or hockey sticks.

You can also maximize the interior for cargo and passengers to suit your needs by choosing whether you fold down all three back seats at once, or just one side at a time.

FORTE INTERIOR COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE FEATURES

To round out the Kia Forte interior, Kia gives you plenty of convenience and comfort features that can make your drives around town the highlight of your day, like:

• Available dual-zone automatic temperature control.
• Available Smart Key with Push-Button Start.
• Available heated and ventilated front seats.

The available dual-zone automatic temperature control is a favorite of ours because it allows the driver and passenger to set their own temperature settings for individualized climate control.

Meanwhile, the available Smart Key with Push Button Start feature lets you start up your Kia vehicle simply by pressing a button on the dashboard. With this kind of functionality, you can easily enter and power up your Forte without having to search for your key fob in your bag or pocket.

One of our favorite features is the available heated and ventilated front seats. Ventilated seats are great for quickly cooling you down when you return to your Kia car after a long summer’s day at the water park. Then, when you have to commute to work on a blustery winter morning, the available heated seats can make the interior of your Kia Forte nice and toasty.

As the driver, you can enjoy the available 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat that helps you find the ideal position for maximum comfort and visibility.
