2023 Kia Forte for Sale near Glenview, IL

2023 Kia Forte shown above with available features.

There’s nothing quite like getting behind the wheel of a compact sedan, and if you’ve never had the luxury of doing so before, then the 2023 Kia Forte is one option you must consider. Discover all that there is to know about this vehicle’s performance and technology when you visit us at McGrath Kia of Highland Park!

Performance

The Kia Forte’s standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is the base of its excellent capability on the road, so you can have yourself a relaxing ride or an energetic one depending on your mood! The powertrain’s 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque keep you moving at your ideal pace, and an Intelligent Variable Transmission won’t fail to make each gear shift so smooth that you won’t feel any jerkiness. If you want an even more seamless experience, then consider upgrading to the GT trim level for the available 7-speed dual-clutch auto transmission with paddle shifters. Finally, you’ll have the efficiency to go alongside all this power with an EPA estimated 31/41/35 MPG city/hwy/combined1 fuel economy rating.

Exterior

Another highlight area of the 2023 Kia Forte comes in its sleek exterior design. As you drive down Route 43, you’ll be a sight for sore eyes on the standard 15-inch alloy wheels. The standard daytime running lights will make you stand out even more by boosting visibility. And, if you’re a fan of having peak brilliance, then once again the GT trim may be for you, as it features standard LED daytime running lights. To help keep you focused on the road ahead, standard Auto Headlight Control monitors the level of sunlight outdoors and turns your lights on and off based on which is needed.

Comfort and Convenience

It’s impossible to cover everything you and your passengers will be treated to when riding around Glenview in the Kia Forte, but the standard woven cloth seats and 4-speaker audio system will surely be highlights. A standard 8-inch touchscreen is where you’ll be able to easily access the best the Forte has to offer in the technology department, and standard Android Auto™2 or Apple CarPlay®3 will be at your immediate disposal! Lastly, the standard 4.2-inch instrument display is where you’ll be able to keep track of how your vehicle is performing while on your way to the Gallery Park.

Working with Danny was great and I highly recommend stopping by and asking for him when looking at a new or pre owned vehicle. It was a great experience working with the McGrath team and we are so happy with our new Telluride!

I just leased my second Kia from McGrath Kia of Highland Park and had another great experience. I walked in and, two hours later, walked out with a new Sportage that fit perfectly within my budget. Huge thanks to Pejman, my salesperson, and Paul in finance for making the whole process feel easy and straightforward. They worked hard to put a deal together that made sense for me, and I really appreciated their transparency and efficiency. Grateful to have a dealership I can trust. I’ll definitely be back again.

I’ve been eyeing the Kia Carnival Hybrid for a while now. With one child already and a second on the way, I definitely need a larger vehicle. I came across Charlie’s post on social media and reached out to him. He was incredibly patient, answering all my questions about specs and financing. I decided to meet him the next day to discuss things in person and take the car for a test drive."As we spoke, I realized he is a genuinely great person—polite and incredibly patient. He walked me through all the features and explained exactly how everything worked. I felt I could truly trust him, so I let him handle the process. He offered a price I simply couldn't refuse, and the interest rate was well within my budget. I highly recommend that everyone go to Charlie for their next car. Thank you for the excellent service today!"

Nicolas Vazquez worked to find the right car for us and get it to us in a short time frame. He was available via text when we left to work things out and matched a deal from competitor. Showed me the whole facility so it's easy when I come back for service. Clean showroom. A little small now but it's getting an addition of both showroom and service space. Friendly, easy to work with. I filled out my credit application before going in, which shortened the transaction process but I was still there 2 hours. Lots of time spent with finance person offering packages we frankly didn't want. She was friendly throughout. I'm excited about the new car-- it's super safe and fun to drive. Good experience all around.

Highland park Kia is a legit place to go. I had a great experience, i unfortunately had a transmission issue and got towed to world Kia Joliet. I picked up my car from world Kia Joliet when they told me it was repaired. When I picked up the car from world Kia Joliet, the car was making noises so I took it to highland park Kia. Highland park Kia, showed me the faulty work that world Kia Joliet did and sent me a video on the issues. This was very helpful and helped me out. In my experience, McGrath Kia of Highland Park is a business of integrity, and puts their customers first. I would recommend McGrath to anyone for their service needs.
