Duncan Kia shoppers are able to find the base LX, the upgraded EX and the top-of-the-line SX trim levels of the 2012 Kia Forte four-door sedan at our Nanaimo showroom. Further offerings are also available with the SX Luxury model that we also have in stock.
Two different engines can be integrated into the updated Forte. Vancouver Island Kia customers getting the LX and EX can get fuel economy as impressive as 5.5 L/100 km on the highway and 8.0 L/100 km in the city with the 2.0L four-cylinder engine that is equipped. The engine is capable of delivering 156 hp and 144 lb/ft of torque.
The SX utilizes a 2.4L four-cylinder engine that produces 173 hp and 168 lb/ft of torque. Optimal fuel economy is still offered for Parksville Kia motorists getting this trim since the engine exhibits gas savings as exceptional as 6.2 L/100 km for driving on the highway and 9.0 L/100 km for driving in the city.
Six-speed manual transmission is paired with both of these eco-friendly four-cylinders. Also optional for Duncan Kia buyers and lessees is electronically controlled six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission for shoppers who want a more laidback driving experience.
