    Safety and Security

    • Lane departure prevention - Keep it between the lines. It only takes a moment of inattention for your vehicle to drift. With lane departure prevention, your vehicle takes corrective action to help you avoid unintentionally moving out of your lane. Lane departure prevention is an extra level of safety for you and those around you.
    • Forward collision mitigation - Forward thinking. You look away for just a second and suddenly the vehicle in front of you has stopped. That's when the forward collision mitigation system comes to life. When it senses an impending impact, it will activate a combination of features to help prevent or reduce the severity of an accident. Forward collision mitigation is always looking ahead.
    • Rear camera - Watching your back! The rear camera helps you see obstacles and hazards you otherwise couldn't by showing enhanced images of what is behind you. The rear camera is an extra set of eyes that's both convenient and safe.
    • Brake assist - Stop right there. Something jumps out into the middle of the road and you need to stop now! With brake assist, you will. It uses the speed of the brake pedal's travel to sense panic braking, then applies all available power to boost your stopping power. Brake assist can stop the accident before it is one.

    Technology and Telematics

    • Smart device mirroring - Smartphone, meet smart car. You can control your device through your vehicle's infotainment system. Smart device mirroring brings together safety and convenience by making it easier to find what you're looking for while keeping your eyes on the road.

      Driver side window problem

      by Eddie on 1/10/2026 4:39:33 PM

      I bought a new 2024 Kia Forte and I like it except for the mentioned driver side window does not roll down many a times. I took it to KY dealer. First they thought it was the switch, then that did not fix it and I have to bring it back again and waited for few more days to for them to fix it. Then after that the problem persisted, I just did not care so much about it because it opens sometimes but also wont open many times, but now after a year, it will not open anymore. Next week I am going to bring it back again to the dealer to have it fix again.…

      Great car

      by Jackie on 1/10/2026 12:22:58 PM

      I have the 2022 Forte 5speed edition and love it. It's zippy and economical to drive, both highway & city driving which is my bread & butter. Easy to handle & all season comfort & reliability in Alberta's seasons. Proper tires & regular maintenance keeps it well tuned. On top of 10 year warranty, my low mileage at under 40k would be an easy sell. The car sells it's self & needs no assistance.…
