For 2022, Kia is moving forward with radical stylistic changes, and the K3 may be rebranded in 2023, but Kia has not confirmed this.

[{"selector":"#anim-665ab356-25d5-4db7-9ae1-f18cb7552220 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-35.08350193377876%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-632bdd0b-5873-4d23-bf2f-fec0662a8a41","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9c807211-b604-49c4-aac5-4d1270a18432","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fab06675-ae71-4ddb-a623-b85c2ee9319d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

With updated appearance and additional amenities, the Kia Forte underwent a significant makeover for the 2022 model year.

[{"selector":"#anim-2be3fae3-46d4-4c13-b4b9-199284662346 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.77016116150074%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fdff2262-2db1-4b0f-b7e7-25b01a75f15c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-020d9d35-f326-4111-b23a-01209d7775bb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-25f9eb8e-54ba-485b-b838-016ddc6e58f3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Forte remains available for the 2023 model year in the same four trim levels as the previous year: FE, LXS, GT-Line, and GT.

[{"selector":"#anim-78b23d04-8c9c-46ba-90b3-a346916c9d83 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.25767908536358%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7e70d4a5-aab8-4bd6-955c-f5c14b408762","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0f857557-54a7-4304-904d-39f245472771","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08ea012d-b8cd-4803-b581-b62a055e6e67","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Thanks to features in the LXS Technology Package, the 2023 Kia Forte receives a welcome set of safety updates.

[{"selector":"#anim-c9722b51-c494-4147-b63f-9821cb41a972 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-32.23684199747701%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8cdeb2f9-568b-44cb-94a3-1fd698366954","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.94021%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-620cfc86-291d-4993-8faf-8d0c867c9f90","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-171598a4-30e9-4adc-817d-42cedcd383ec","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This safety package, as its name implies, is standard on the 2023 Kia Forte but optional on the LXS Forte model.

The 2023 Forte's interior is anticipated to include a decent selection of standard items that are normally missing from vehicles in this price range.

The Forte, Kia's middle child in the compact vehicle family, will be back in 2023 with a number of new technologies and optional driver-assistance systems.
