2016
FORTE
DIGITALLY ADVANCED
The available UVO
Powered by Microsoft®3
entertainment,
communication and
information system
gives you hands-free,
voice-activated control
over the audio system,
music selection and
your Bluetooth®4enabled cell phone.
IT’S YOUR FORTE.
You’re not just looking for a car – you’re looking for an experience. One
that’s all you, not just where you’re going, but most importantly, how
you’re going to get there. In a car that says as much about you as it does
about Kia. Call it a meeting of minds. Both are dedicated to something that
takes you far beyond the “me-too” compact cars that are so common on
today’s roads. Instead, imagine a car with sporty styling, a wide stance and
a presence highlighted by available Xenon high-intensity discharge (HID)
headlights and LED light bar taillights. A technologically advanced car that
takes full advantage of recent innovations. Don’t just imagine it – open
your eyes to a car that’s all about you. The 2016 Kia Forte.
SMART AND LUXURIOUS
For 2016, the Forte stands out
with a long list of smart, premium
features you didn’t expect
in a compact car, including a
standard audio system with voice
recognition. Available features
elevate the experience with a
heated steering wheel, a 10-way
power heated and air-cooled
driver’s seat, as well as dual-stage
heated rear seats on Forte5
and sedan models.
CHOICE OF ENGINES
Three engines for three different expressions
of performance. The 2016 Forte LX sedan
features a standard 1.8-litre engine that
produces 145 horsepower with enthusiasm,
yet with a remarkable level of quietness.
Step up to the EX or SX and the power steps
up with you in the form of a robust, yet
smooth running 2.0-litre, 173-horsepower
gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine. Forte5
and Koup SX models take the performance
up yet another notch with an available
201-horsepower, 1.6-litre twin-scroll
turbocharged engine.
INCREASE YOUR
WOW FACTOR.
A carbon-fibre patterned
bumper bar and rear diffuser
panel, along with dual
stainless-steel and sporttuned exhaust tips create a
sportier, more aggressive
look. Available on Forte5 and
Koup SX models.
The Koup SX shows off its
performance side with
standard 18-inch alloy wheels,
a sport-tuned suspension
and a 201-horspower,
1.6-litre twin-scroll
turbocharged engine.
The available ball-type six-speed
manual transmission shifter
knob offers slick shifting with
a true sports car look and feel.
Don’t be shy. Grab hold of a much more
exuberant way to drive. In a car with
dramatic styling and dynamic
performance – and all those
can’t-live-without high-tech amenities. It’s a
vivid demonstration of how you can live large
– in a compact car. That’s as long as the car is
named Forte Koup. You think it’s a thrill to look
at, wait till you drive it. In a word – Wow.
PUSH-BUTTON START
Start or stop the engine at
the push of a button with
the available Smart Key
remote, even with the key
fob in your pocket or bag.
ADJUSTABLE FLEXSTEERTM
Kia’s available advanced FlexSteerTM system
allows you to select the level of steering
feedback that best suits your driving style –
Normal for everyday driving, Comfort for a
lighter, more luxurious feel, and Sport for a
more solid feel of performance.
ROOM TO GO WITH
THE VROOM.
It’s okay to share. No reason to be greedy by keeping the Forte
experience all to yourself. Fortunately, Forte is designed to
spread the excitement around, thanks to a long wheelbase that
helps maximize the use of interior space. But in Forte, versatility
features like split-folding rear seats never get in the way of its
sporty personality. Available soft-touch materials and carbon
fibre patterned trim set the tone for an inspired ride.
POWER SUNROOF
The power tilt and sliding sunroof brings natural light and fresh air inside
at a moment’s notice. Available on all Forte models.
FOLDING REAR SEATS
60/40 split-folding rear seats
provide passenger and cargo
loading flexibility on all Forte
models.
THE HEAT IS ON
Take the chill out of Canadian winters
with the heated front seats that are
standard on Forte sedan LX+ and above
models. Forte sedan SX and Forte5 SX
Luxury add the comfort of heated
rear seats.
AIR-COOLED DRIVER seat
For added comfort in warm weather, the
2016 Forte sedan SX, Forte5 and Koup
SX Luxury models are equipped with a
standard air-cooled driver’s seat that
circulates air through the leather
seating surfaces.
COOLING GLOVEBOX
Keep beverages well chilled with
Forte’s cooling glove box – it’s
a standard convenience on all
SX models.
Rear air ventilation
Back-seat passengers can enjoy
cool air circulation thanks to
available rear air vents positioned
at the back of the centre console.
REAR CENTRE ARMREST
Thrills without the spills. A convenient
flip-down centre armrest lets rear-seat
passengers enjoy their drinks without
spilling, thanks to the built-in cupholders.
Available on all Forte models.
Paddle shifters
The sporty paddle shifters on
the steering column allow you to
change gears without taking your
hands off of the steering wheel.
Standard on all Forte SX models
with automatic transmission.
AUTOMATIC COMFORT
Forte’s available dual-zone
automatic climate control lets the
driver and front passenger choose
separate temperature settings
for precise, personalized comfort
year round.
HAND WARMER
Take the sting out of the cold
with a heated steering wheel.
It’s just one of the many
available premium features on
the Forte family.
push button start
There’s no need to search for
the ignition key with the
convenience of Forte’s available
Smart Key keyless push-button
ignition switch.
Overhead sunglasses HOLDER
Store your sunglasses just above
head level and within easy reach.
Standard on all Forte models.
ROOM FOR FIVE.
BUT ONLY ONE
DRIVER.
Some people get all the luck. Once you take your position in the driver’s
seat, there’s no question about who’s in control. This is a sport with
only one player. That’s made abundantly clear by the layout of the
driver-oriented cockpit. The instrument panel is angled toward
the driver for truly intuitive operation. You’re in total command of
everything from the selection of gears to the selection of music. See
how Forte is the driver’s car among compact passenger cars.
GREAT SOUND. GREAT SYSTEM
The standard AM/FM/CD/MP3
audio system delivers crisp
and clear high-fidelity sound.
Your entertainment choices
are expanded by three trial
months of SiriusXMTM satellite
radio.2 In addition, all Forte audio
systems are equipped with
standard hands-free Bluetooth®4
connectivity, internal music
storage, and voice-recognition
technology for control of various
system functions.
ENTERTAINING AND INFORMATIVE
The available UVO Powered by
Microsoft®3 entertainment,
communication and information
system gives you voice-activated
control over the audio system and
your MP3 player. The system’s
touch-screen also acts as the
display for the vehicle’s rearview
camera.5
With up to 657 litres (23.2 cubic feet) of cargo
space and an available 1.6L turbocharged engine,
the Forte5 adapts to every aspect of your life
with ease – and in style.
OPEN YOUR MIND.
Your brain requires practical solutions. Your heart is fuelled by desire and inspiration. So how
can both be equally satisfied in your next car? By combining Forte’s charisma with the added
utility that only a hatchback can offer – in the 2016 Forte5. So don’t just open the hatch to its
cargo-carrying abilities – open your mind to a whole different spin on versatility.
International model shown.
LISTEN UP.
In Forte, it’s not just the quality of
the sound, but also the range of
controls that create such a dynamic
listening experience. What could be
simpler than using your voice or a
touch screen to control the onboard
navigation4 and entertainment
systems? The available multimedia
interface combines a vivid display
and brilliant graphics with touchscreen control and speech recognition
technology for precise adjustment of
multiple systems and functions. How
good does that sound?
It’s the home of 100%
commercial-free
music, news, talk and
entertainment. To find
out more about SiriusXMTM
satellite radio,2 speak to
your Kia dealer or visit
siriusxm.ca
The 2016 Forte is equipped
with standard Bluetooth®4
wireless technology to
provide hands-free calling
connectivity with Bluetoothenabled cell phones.
TOUCH-SCREEN
TECHNOLOGY
An available
bright, LCD touchscreen features
smartphone-like
controls that
respond with a touch
of your finger.
MEDIA AND MUSIC
INTEGRATION
The interface provides
hands-free connectivity
for your Bluetooth®4enabled cell phone and
supports digital music
playback from your MP3
player or USB-connected
music sources.
REARVIEW CAMERA DISPLAY5
When you shift into reverse,
the multimedia interface
automatically displays a highresolution image from the
vehicle’s available rearview
camera. It’s like an extra set of
eyes, showing you what you
might not otherwise see by
simply looking in the rearview
mirror or over your shoulder.
ONBOARD NAVIGATION4
Forte’s available onboard
navigation system is
fully integrated with the
multimedia interface.
Call-up a destination,
find a point of interest or
type in an address on the
touch-screen and Forte
will lead you there.
HILL-START ASSIST CONTROL
To help keep you from
rolling backward when
starting off on a steep hill,
Hill Assist Control (HAC)
automatically maintains
braking pressure for up to
two seconds after you take
your foot off the brake
pedal – enough time to shift
your foot from the brake to
the accelerator pedal.
ENHANCED
COLLISION SAFETY
Forte’s platform
provides the strength
and protection that’s
needed to help
maintain the integrity
of the passenger
compartment in
frontal, side and
rear impacts.
laTch SySTem
Forte is equipped with
an industry-standard
LATCH (Lower
Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) safety
system that makes
it easier to securely
install a compatible
child safety seat in
any of the three rear
seating positions.
REARVIEW CAMERA5
Standard on all Forte EX and SX models,
the rearview camera gives you a view of
objects and obstacles behind you when
you’re backing up. Images are displayed
on the LCD screen of the UVO system
or navigation system, depending on how
your vehicle is equipped.
Seat belt pretensioners
Seat belt pretensioners automatically
tighten the driver and front passenger’s
seat belts in the event of a collision to
help prevent or reduce injury.
KEEPS YOU
IN YOUR
COMFORT ZONE.
One overlooked aspect of safe driving is confidence. Kia
Forte is equipped with a series of integrated driver control
systems that intervene automatically to help prevent an
incident from occurring. Technology helps you see the
unseen and react to hazardous conditions before you
detect them. Very comforting, don’t you think?
VEHICLE STABILITY MANAGEMENT
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) monitors Forte’s response
to your throttle, brake and
steering inputs in tight corners
and during evasive-driving
manoeuvres. If your steering
input and the vehicle’s response
are out of sync, VSM intervenes
to help restore stability through
precise brake, electric steering
and engine control adjustments.
TRacTion conTRol
Forte’s standard
Traction Control System
(TCS) senses wheel spin
during acceleration and
uses engine-torque
reduction and pulsed
braking to slow the
spinning wheel or
wheels, transferring
torque to the wheels
with the most traction.
ANTI-LOCK
BRAKING SYSTEM
ABS provides the
foundation for Forte’s
active safety systems.
It helps provide greater
vehicle control when
stopping in difficult
conditions, such as wet,
slippery or snow-covered
roads – and in severe
braking situations.
SIX STANDARD AIRBAGS
Forte protects you and
your passengers with
advanced dual-front,
side-impact and curtain
airbags with finely tuned
sensors for the best
possible performance. In
combination, they help
protect against head and
chest injuries in moderate
to severe impacts.1

Starting with the 2015 model year, Natural Resources Canada in conjunction with the automotive manufacturers, have introduced a new testing procedure that will result in higher fuel consumption
ratings that are more representative of everyday driving. Kia Canada is one of the first automotive manufacturers to implement the new testing practice and would like to ensure you fully understand the
difference. The new procedure incorporates 3 additional test cycles that account for air conditioner usage, cold temperature operation, and higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking.
