Kia Forte Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearComment
2019 The Kia Forte's EPA fuel economy ratings of 30 mpg city and 40 mpg highway aren't quite best in class, but they're close. Unless you include the 55/49 Honda Insight and the 53/52 Toyota Corolla Hybrid in the class--then they're not so close. In my real-world suburban driving I observed trip computer averages in the low 40s in the Forte, similar to a 2016 Civic LX with a similarly sized, similarly non-turbo engine. A Civic EX, with a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine, should do a few mpg better. In the hybrid Honda Insight, I observed suburban trip computer averages in the 60s, but "only" 40 mpg on the highway, not even as good as the non-hybrids. see full Kia Forte review

I've made it through the top reasons to buy a Kia Forte SX, but no mention of performance and handling (the reasons to upgrade from lesser trims) yet. But neither is the top reason not to buy one, either. Okay, maybe handling is. I'm trying to decide as I write this. Handling definitely isn't the car's largest weakness. That would be fuel economy. With a manual transmission, the Kia Forte SX achieves worst-in-class EPA ratings: 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. (The automatic goes a mile farther on each highway gallon.) Mind you, the Civic doesn't do much better, with 22/31. But the big-engined Mazda achieves 25/37 with a manual, and a lofty 28/39 with an automatic. And the much quicker Volkswagen GTI scores 25/34 and 25/33, respectively. The Forte EX, with its larger but non-turbocharged engine, is more competitive: 24/33 with the manual and 25/36 with the automatic. Maybe the Forte SX just doesn't test well. In my suburban driving the trip computer reported averages between 25 and 40 (depending on the frequency of stops and the heaviness of my right foot), with most in the low 30s. The trip computers in the Honda, Mazda, and Volkswagen all reported about the same. The Kia's trip computer also reported better-than-EPA averages on the highway, but not by as wide a margin. Short gearing restricted 70-mph-highway averages to about 33, well short of the high 30s observed in the others. see full Kia Forte review

2012 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 After many trips up and down the eastern USA coast (NY-FL and back) It has proven itself reliable and seems to do very well on the highway. Available power is decent, and fuel mileage is really good. It's unusual f we don't get at least the rated 33MPG but usually are between 35 and 38 with a full passenger load and moderately filled trunk. see full Kia Forte review
2011 4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I was able to get 33 on my first tank going 75 on 90% highway driving and 27 with more mixed driving and highway driving at a highr speed. see full Kia Forte review
2010 2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 even with a lead foot i get 20-24 mpg and on a long road trip 600 miles easily achieved 33 mpg, while still being fun to drive see full Kia Forte review

2008 4dr Sedan 173-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Excellent mileage for a car that will hold four with lots of room, about 30-34 mpg at freeway speeds. The 4 cylinder engine is not a hot rod but gets up to highway speed without making me feel nervous about merging. see full Chrysler Sebring review
2006 4dr Sedan 150-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I get great fuel economy. Recently took it on a 700 km trip, and used on tank (60 litres!) see full Chrysler Sebring review
2005 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.7L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 The car typically got about 30 MPG on long business trips. see full Chrysler Sebring review

6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 This car guzzles gas like it's going out of style. Absolutely terrible in terms of fuel economy. My Dodge Journey with a 3.6L V6 is by far better on gas! see full Chrysler Sebring review
2007 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I wish it could be better, but I asked for the 3.5L and I got the 3.5L. see full Chrysler Sebring review
2004 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.7L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 very poor gas milage during city driving - tank is very big - $20.00 from empty barely moves the needle. see full Chrysler Sebring review
