PERFORMANCE

The best thing about the Corolla and the Forte is that they don’t compromise on power for efficiency. Both models make it their mission to deliver a thrilling yet fuel-saving performance. So, whether you’ve got a hunger for power or a desire to save on gas, these sedans are well worth your while.

How Do You Like to Drive?

There’s something to be said about driving a high-performing vehicle, and the Toyota Corolla and Kia Forte both fit the mold. They’re similar in that they both offer multiple engine options, but the Toyota has one more than the Kia: a 1.8L 4-cylinder hybrid engine that can be found in multiple trims.

Another key factor that separates the Toyota powertrains from the Kia powertrains is the capability to tailor your drives with different drive modes. These are:

Normal

Eco

Sport

Unfortunately, for those drivers who pick the Kia Forte, you won’t have different drive modes to choose from.

Fuel-Saving Vehicles

One other similarity of these two sedans is that they’re both very fuel efficient, which saves you from having to constantly make stops at the gas station. In fact, their traditional gas models both offer a similar rating:

Toyota Corolla: EPA-estimated 32 city/41 highway MPG¹
Kia Forte: EPA-estimated 31 city/41 highway MPG

For even more endurance, choose the Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE, which helps drivers achieve an EPA-estimated 53 city/46 highway MPG rating! ² You’ll easily be able to leave the pump in your rearview with this model.

SAFETY

The ability to drive with confidence no matter where you are supersedes anything else. Thankfully, the Corolla and the Forte were built with safety at the forefront.

On-Road Confidence Included

You’ll find each sedan has similar standard driver-assistive systems, including:

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection

Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist

Automatic High Beams

The Toyota also has a standard Road Sign Assist system, which identifies upcoming road signs, as well as Proactive Driving Assist, which provides gentle braking and steering support on curves, straightaways, and in other traffic conditions. These systems are unique to the Corolla.

ToyotaCare

All Toyota models, including the Corolla, come with ToyotaCare, a maintenance plan that covers your vehicle’s maintenance for the first two years of ownership or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. Plus, if your Corolla ever breaks down or the battery dies, you’ll have the convenience of 24/7 Roadside Assistance.

Forte drivers won’t have a standard maintenance plan with their vehicle.

TECHNOLOGY

The Toyota Corolla and the Kia Forte are convenient companions in many scenarios. For instance, they can be your home or office on wheels with the help of their impressive infotainment suites.

Meet Your Command Center

Each automotive companion can keep you connected to your music, news, podcasts, and more with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, all of which are given amazing visuals thanks to 8-inch infotainment screens.

If you’re a fan of commercial-free music, the Forte and the Corolla will let you channel surf thanks to SiriusXM® Radio.

Bass Booming Symphonies

The Corolla also has a more powerful audio system than the Kia by way of an available 9-speaker system by JBL®, a leading audio brand. The Kia only has an optional 8-speaker system by Harman Kardon®.
