2021 Kia Forte Lease in San Antonio, TX
Pictured above is the 2021 Kia Forte with optional features.
Prized for its athletic build and advanced cabin, the 2021 Kia Forte has quickly established itself as a leading contender in the compact sedan market. Since making its debut at World Car Kia South, this set of wheels has captured the hearts of countless individuals! So, even if you’re not in the position to purchase a brand-new car, our Finance Department is here to explain how leasing makes it possible to get behind the wheel for less.
Why Lease the 2021 Forte?
Leasing
Before we cover some of the details of the 2021 Forte itself, let’s first review how leasing this vehicle works. Instead of taking out a loan and slowly paying it off over the course of four to seven years, you’ll simply be responsible for an amount that reflects this Kia’s depreciation over a period of two to four years. This not only makes it more affordable to experience its many features, but it also prevents you from having to save up a significant down payment when you enroll. Best of all, there’s no pressure to lease again, which means you’re free to move if you choose when your agreement ends.
Technology
There’s plenty of ground to cover regarding the 2021 Kia Forte, so let’s dive right in by checking out its expansive collection of cabin technology features. Through the standard 8-inch touchscreen1, you’ll have many amenities at your disposal, including both Apple CarPlay®2 and Android Auto™3 for seamless smartphone integration at your fingertips. After syncing your device, you’ll be able to access your contact book for hands-free calling, stream music from your playlists and apps, and so much more. However, by springing for a higher trim level, you could unlock even more, including SiriusXM® Satellite Radio4 and navigation5. While you’re at it, why not also opt for the available wireless phone charger6? With this, you simply need to place your device on the designated spot to regain battery life without needing a cord.
Efficient Performance
If you’re still under the impression that compact sedans don’t offer much in the way of excitement, prepare to be blown away by the Kia Forte. Even with the base model, you’ll be treated to athletic capabilities by the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine and 6-speed manual transmission, as these mechanics work tirelessly to arm you with a lively 147-hp and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. However, to help this powertrain achieve peak efficiency, you’ll want to upgrade to the gearless Intelligent Variable Transmission, as this improves your fuel economy rating to a sensational 31/41 MPG city/hwy7. Meanwhile, those who go with the 1.6L turbo system to wield 201-hp and 195 lb.-ft. of torque can expect to achieve a responsible 27/35 MPG city/hwy7.
The team at World Car Kia South is ready to lend a hand with your upcoming 2021 Kia Forte lease in San Antonio, TX, so you could be holding the keys before long. If you have any pressing questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance prior to dropping by!

The young gentleman named Andre who helped us went above and beyond from the time we walked in the door until she drove off the lot in her new KIA Soul! When my fiance and I are ready to purchase a new vehicle we will definitely be back to see Andre. He made the experience of buying a new car a very easy and enjoyable one. Thank you again to Andre and World Car KIA! You guys were the BEST! ”
5 Star Review
“ My husband and I had talked about getting a new car for a while now. We wanted a new car to replace our current car that had definitely seen some better days. We put directions in our GPS and drove to the closest Hyundai dealer, which lead us here. We had the pleasure of meeting Dylan, who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We had a couple of bumps in the road of our own accidental making, but he was patient with us. We went through multiple options and every time, Dylan made sure we knew all of the ins and outs about each vehicle. Thanks to Dylan, we are the proud owners of a 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT. Thank you so much for making our first time car buying experience a breeze, Dylan! ”

“ When I was treated unfairly at another dealership I stopped here on my way home and was met by a very nice salesman named Jose. It was close to closing but Jose took the time to hear my story about my experience before arriving here and sat me down to ask how he could help. We set up an appointment for the following day in which Jose got me into a vehicle I wanted and the payments I needed. The process was very easy and prompt. ”
