LX models are powered by a 147-horsepower 4-cylinder engine while EX models come with a more powerful version of the same 2.0L that makes 164 hp and 151 lb-feet of torque. Kia Forte SX models come with a turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder that makes 201 horsepower. Both of the non-turbo engines include continuously variable valve timing, which helps provide responsiveness over a wide range while enhancing fuel economy. LX models offer a choice between a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed automatic transmission, while EX 4-doors only come with the automatic. SX models come with the option of a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission or a conventional 6-speed manual.
