Kelley Blue Book and AOL Autos have released a list of their top tech-savvy choices for under $20,000, and the Kia Forte has been named a top pick by the automotive experts.
Drawing on our smart-phone culture, KBB and AOL decided to look at how various cars stand up to one another not only tech-wise, but price-wise as well.
According to the site, "Cars aren't just for getting us from A to B anymore. Our smartphone-happy culture has turned even the least expensive new vehicles into rolling bastions of connectivity. The reality is that tech isn't just for luxury rides anymore."
So what did they have to say about the Kia Forte? Well for starters KBB loved its expressive styling and sharp interior, which, they note, all comes at a terrific starting price.
But their favorite pieces about the Forte were its tech features, including the Forte's HID headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control and heated and ventilated leather seats. Kia's UVO infotainment system was also called out for its user-friendly and clean interface that allows you to send information from your computer to your car.
And to top it all off, all the great tech and gizmos that the Kia Forte offers also comes at an amazingly affordable price.
As we noted a few weeks ago, "The [2015 Kia Forte] comes with the same outstanding features fans have grown to love, which have contributed to its award-winning history. Complete with five-passenger seating, the Kia Forte is a spacious compact car with a striking appearance that will fit all of your everyday needs."
So come by and test drive a new 2015 Kia Forte, and see for yourself what all the fuss is about.
