Are you looking for a Kia Forte for sale? Well, you are in luck. At Sherwood Kia, we carry an assortment of great vehicles, including the popular Forte. Kia began its incredible journey more than seventy years ago, but it wasn’t until 1999 that the Kia brand made its way to Canada. Kia excelled in our market, introducing a customer-focused selection of vehicles that everyone could enjoy.
Kia’s main goal is to inspire through movement, and it achieves this by focusing on five core values. These core values are Customer First, Challenges, Communication and Collaboration, People, and Globality. Kia is centred around the customer and aims to provide the best service possible. The manufacturer embraces challenges, using them to fuel its goals. Kia makes sure to respect its business partners, customers and employees while working to be a part of global change.
These values resonate in every model that rolls off the assembly line but are particularly present in the Forte. Kia challenged itself to create a vehicle that could stand up against the ever-growing SUV market without compromising what makes a sedan great. The result is a model that addresses people’s needs and exceeds expectations while being accessible to many.

The Kia Forte is sporty, efficient, comfortable, and safe. Introduced in 2010, this compact car was a breath of fresh air in a market saturated with SUVs. The Kia Forte offers affordability without skimping on the features we have all grown to enjoy. Built to exude quality craftsmanship, the Forte is designed to be with you for years to come.
The Kia Forte can transition from daily commuter to weekend driver with ease. Its fantastic gas mileage gives the model a huge advantage over a typical SUV when considering the cost of commuting or taking a long road trip. Despite being a compact sedan, there is still plenty of cargo room and passenger space to make sure you don’t miss the perks of a larger vehicle.
With an assortment of trim options to choose from, you can customize the Forte to your liking. Do you enjoy the simple things in life? The affordable base trim will probably be just right. Do you like to feel a bit spoiled? That’s fine because, with so many luxury upgrades available for the Forte, you can spoil yourself as much as you would like.
You can enjoy comforts such as heated front and rear seats, leather appointments, a heated steering wheel, and more. There are even plenty of tech upgrades to choose from, like wireless phone charging and a premium audio system that pumps out premium sound without the premium price. Even a top-trim Forte with every extra comes in at a low price, meaning customization is affordable.
Many automakers have influenced Canada's automotive industry, each leaving its own imprint on the nation's highways. Among them, Kia has become a prominent player, providing Canadian drivers with dependable, fun, and fuel-efficient vehicles. One such option, the Kia Forte, is among the most sold sedans in the country. This continued success is due to Kia’s continued dedication to meeting the needs of drivers through dynamic innovation and design.
By the time Kia made its arrival in Canada in 1999, the brand was already more than 50 years old. While the first few years were spent making its mark across the nation, more than 20 years later, the brand has sold more than 1,000,000 vehicles. In that number, there are quite a few Forte’s. The Canadian Forte debuted in 2010. Positioned as a compact vehicle, the Forte was meant to appeal to customers looking for a dependable, fashionable car at a reasonable price. At the time, designers could only hope that the sedan would be as popular as it has become. Looking back, it’s clear that the initial iteration of the Forte laid the foundation for Kia's success in the compact car market.
This first generation was all about performance and design, with the aim of giving Canadian drivers a style they hadn’t seen before. Drivers immediately liked the Forte due to its elegant design, cozy interior, and array of options, as well as its functionality for a wide range of uses. Early engine options included a 2.0L naturally aspirated four-cylinder and a 2.4L naturally aspirated four-cylinder.
The second generation of the Forte, which was introduced in 2014, carried over and improved upon the driving experience, building on the success of the original version. Modernized features, increased fuel economy, and a more stylized appearance all helped to establish the Forte's rising stature as a reliable small car option. Kia continued to offer various versions of the Forte but changed the engine options to include a 1.8L naturally aspirated four-cylinder and a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder.
The Kia Forte continued to develop alongside a changing automotive industry, introducing a third generation in 2019 that offered cutting-edge safety features and technology in addition to a more contemporary look. In addition, the Forte continued to emphasize efficiency and performance, maintaining its place as a top competitor in its class.
Today, the Kia Forte continues to offer drivers various models and trim levels, along with multiple engine choices that improve power and performance as you move through its options. The current generation of the Kia Forte also offers the latest safety and technological innovations, giving Canadian drivers the confidence they need to tackle the road ahead, whether picking up groceries or commuting to work.

Throughout the Forte’s history in Canada, it’s been offered in a variety of models. These include the Forte sedan, Forte5, and Forte Koup. Each of these models is detailed further below.
The Kia Forte sedan has been offered as a body style since the Forte originally debuted in Canada. Throughout the years, it’s been a symbol of sporty styling with bold, crisp lines and a sleek profile. The Forte sedan is a good option for a growing family not quite ready to make the jump to an SUV. It’s also a great option when commuting throughout the Sherwood Park area, thanks to its responsive handling and exceptional fuel efficiency. Additionally, the Forte sedan has continued to stay competitive in its class, offering drivers and passengers generous legroom and headroom as well as plenty of cargo space. The Forte sedan was introduced in 2010 and has been an option for Canadian drivers every year since.
The Forte5 is the hatchback variant of the Kia Forte. This has been a mainstay model, appealing to drivers, both young and old, who want a sporty option with easy access to cargo. The Forte5 has been offered to Canadian drivers since the 2011 model year. You can find the Forte5 in a variety of trim options. Talk to our team to learn more about the trim levels and ordering information.
The third Kia Forte option actually made its public debut before the other two when it was introduced as a concept car in 2008. The concept sported a 2.0L turbocharged engine to go with its sleek and modern style, although the production version offered the same naturally aspirated engines as the rest of the Forte lineup. The Kia Forte Koup was available on dealership lots from 2010 through the 2017 model year. After 2017, the Koup was no longer available from the factory, but it is still a fun option when shopping for a sporty used car.
The Kia Forte is still going strong, providing exceptional performance for a wide variety of drivers. The sportiest option is the Kia Forte GT, which should not be confused with the Kia Forte GT-Line. These two trims are available for both the standard Forte sedan and the Forte5 hatchback. The difference between the two trims can be best explained by answering the question, “Do you want your car to look powerful or be powerful?” In all fairness, the GT-Line has power, along with aggressive styling, LED lighting, sport-inspired seating, and a flat-bottom steering wheel.
However, the GT takes it up a notch by offering a more capable turbocharged engine for significantly better acceleration. The Forte GT also offers some more subtle upgrades, including a trim-specific multilink rear suspension that replaces the Forte’s standard torsion bar rear suspension to provide more agile handling and superior rear-end grip. Our team can explore the differences between the two trims further to help you make an informed decision as to which one best meets your needs.
When purchasing a brand-new Kia, you’ll gain peace of mind knowing that you have a comprehensive five-year or 100,000 km warranty and a five-year or 100,000 km powertrain warranty on your side. Additionally, you’ll get one-year or 20,000 km coverage for small items like bulbs, wiper blades, fuses, and more. But that’s not all. For eight years or 130,000 km, the Major Emission Components coverage guarantees that your new Forte will conform to government emissions regulations. Finally, there is 24/7 roadside assistance for five years and unlimited kilometres to help in case of a breakdown. If you have questions about these benefits, talk to a member of our team. We can review each one so that you understand exactly what is covered and feel good about the purchase of your new Kia Forte.
