2023 Kia Forte Lease near Elmendorf, TX
2023 Kia Forte displayed with additional features.
World Car Kia South has options that allow you to purchase the car that best fits your life. However, purchasing can be too permanent and if that’s not what you’re after, consider the leasing option. You can temporarily own a vehicle from our inventory. That includes the 2023 Kia Forte midsize sedan. Contact us in order to begin the leasing process and we will answer as many of your pressing questions as we can for you.
Capability
The Forte is a midsize sedan that does not hold back on power and fuel efficiency. First, there are two engine options to choose from. The standard base model contains a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine that generates 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. This will allow for a strong presence on the road. If you want something with more power and the ability to control, choose the available turbocharged 1.6L inline 4-cylinder engine with 201 horsepower and 193 lb.-ft. Of torque. The standard model pairs with an Intelligent Variable Transmission while the turbocharged engine has a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Finally, the base engine produces an EPA estimated 31/41/35 MPG city/hwy/combined1 fuel efficiency rating and the turbocharged variation has a 27/35/30 MPG city/hwy/combined1 fuel economy rating.
Exterior
On the outside, the 2023 Kia Forte is just as strong as under the hood. First, the Solar control glass will protect your interior from sun damage due to consistent exposure. In Texas, it might be a benefit to have this feature. Projector beam headlights that are included with the standard models illuminate the roads ahead of you and make sure other vehicles see you in the dark. Move atop standard 15-inch wheels with full covers, and have the opportunity to upgrade to the available 18-inch alloy wheels. Finally, with GT models, you will acquire a sporty GT body style that is more aerodynamic on the roads and six different color options.
Leasing
When you’re interested in something that is less permanent, the option to lease can be the right one for you. This contract lasts between two and four years. During this time you will adhere to a mileage plan that you choose. This will make sure your payments remain fixed, so adhere to it as much as you can. At the end of your lease, you will have options to choose from. You can purchase the vehicle and our staff members can help you finance the purchase and bring your ride home in no time! Then, if you’re into leasing but you want a newer mode modern unit, you can choose to trade up and keep the current contract you have. Finally if you’re not interested in continuing this process at the end, you can turn in your keys with no further obligations.

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.

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. ”
