What is the Kia Forte's gas mileage?

I’m shopping around for my first new car and I found that the Kia Forte fits my budget. While I like the styling and features, I’m worried about fuel economy. What is the gas mileage of the Kia Forte?

The
Kia Forte
is a reliable vehicle that’s among the most affordable on the market. And if you’re worried about fuel economy, don’t be. The Kia Forte’s gas mileage is up to 41 mpg on the highway and 31 mpg in the city.
However, the amount of gas mileage you get out of the Kia Forte is entirely dependent on what engine and transmission you choose. The Forte FE also provides a bit of extra mileage compared to other trim levels. Here’s a quick breakdown of your options:
  • Forte FE with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT): 41 mpg highway; 31 mpg city
  • All other Forte trims with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a CVT: 39 mpg highway; 29 mpg city
  • 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with automatic transmission: 35 mpg highway; 27 mpg city
  • 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with manual transmission: 31 mpg highway; 22 mpg city
Aside from picking which Forte model is ideal for your needs, you also need to choose the right car insurance policy. That’s when the
