The Forte is Kia's entry into the subcompact market to compete against the Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, Ford Focus (dead), Chevrolet Cruze (dead), Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3. This Kia is identical mechanically to the Kia Soul which is new for 2020. Some of the notable features are:
2.0L NU Hyundai/Kia inline 4 cylinder engine
Kia's first continuously variable transmission (IVT)
Port Injection only
Integrated oil/pump in the timing cover
Variable intake manifold and charge motion sensor
Electronic thermostat
Rear torsion beam suspension

Overall the Kia Forte is a decent entry mechanically speaking, with good build quality for the price of the vehicle. Notably the layout of everything underneath the hood is identical to Toyota products.
