What trims and engines does the 2022 Kia Forte offer in Canada?
The 2022 Kia Forte was available in Canada in five trim levels: LX, EX, GT-Line, GT, and GT-Line manual. Two engines were offered: a naturally aspirated 2.0L four-cylinder (147 hp, 132 lb-ft) on LX, EX, and GT-Line trims, and a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder (201 hp, 195 lb-ft) on the GT and turbo GT-Line. The 2.0L was paired with a CVT; the 1.6T came with either a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) or a six-speed manual. Pricing started around $21,500 for the Forte LX, rising to approximately $25,000 for the EX, $29,000 for the GT-Line, and $31,000 for the GT turbo. The Forte GT 2022 thus offered a compact sedan with a manual transmission and turbocharged engine at a competitive price against the Honda Civic Sport (around $30,000) and Mazda3 GS (around $27,000).
