Kia Motors America (KMA), one of the fastest growing car companies in the last five years
2,
has garnered yet another accolade with the all-new Kia Forte being
named to WardsAuto’s list of “10 Best Interiors of 2013.” The stylish
Forte stood out for combining premium features, high-quality materials
and a sophisticated design at the lowest base price in the compact-car
segment
.
“The all-new Forte is designed to bring our customers
European-influenced styling and premium amenities found more commonly in
larger sedans,” said Michael Sprague, executive vice president of
marketing & communications, KMA. “WardsAuto’s recognition of the
2014 Forte’s interior as being among the best in the industry is strong
evidence of the significant enhancements we’ve made to the new
generation of this already-popular product. With the lowest base price
in the segment, the 2014 Forte aptly advances Kia’s well-known value
proposition to new levels of sophistication.”
WardsAuto named the Forte to their list of “10 Best Interiors” based
on combination of technology, comfort, amenities and stylish elements.
The 2014 Forte is offered in two trims and comes standard with steering
wheel-mounted audio controls, SiriusXM™ Satellite Radio
3 and
Bluetooth® wireless technology
4.
Designed at Kia’s American design center in California, the Forte’s
cabin has chrome accents, high quality soft-touch materials and large,
easy to read, instruments.
“The Kia Forte demonstrates how far compact-car interiors have come
in a short time,” said WardsAuto World executive editor Tom Murphy.
“Starting at $15,900
5, the Forte has the lowest base price in
the segment. And yet it delivers premium features – from a
straightforward and intuitive communication system to the brilliant door
trim resembling the layered gills of a shark – that are sure to
surprise and delight car shoppers.”
About the 2014 Forte
Available in LX and EX trims, the all-new Forte sedan is arriving in
retail showrooms now and will be followed later in the year by 5-door
and two-door Koup variants. Sitting on an all-new chassis that is
longer, wider and lower than its predecessor, the all-new Forte will
offer more room, more fun-to-drive performance, new cutting edge
technology, several premium amenities and a choice of an efficient
1.8-liter engine (LX) or a more powerful 2.0-liter engine (EX). With an
aggressive stance and broad shoulders, the all-new Forte’s modern
aesthetic was influenced by European sport sedan styling and penned at
Kia’s U.S. design studio in Irvine, Calif. Optional FlexSteer™
technology puts the driver firmly in control with a choice of three
settings – Comfort, Normal and Sport – which vary steering feel and
effort at the touch of a button.

Only choose superior car detailing supplies to keep your car's
interior and exterior like new. There are plenty of decent quality waxes and
polishes on the market today and if the last time you waxed or polished your
car was over a decade ago, things have changed considerably since then. The wax
and polish compounds are far more sophisticated both in terms of protection
from fading, the look of the finish, and the ease of application. For example
Turtle Wax Ice gets rid of that old problem of white wax residue. Is a clean
car a vanity thing? Partly, yes, but if you park under a tree where birds help
repaint your car with recycled blueberries, that guck will come off a lot
easier if it falls on a waxed paint job.
