  • LXS: $19,990 MSRP
  • GT-Line: $21,690 MSRP

Forte vs. Elantra: Color Options

Not only will you have far more trim levels to explore in the Kia Forte lineup, but you’ll also enjoy extra exterior color options. The Forte is available in nine gorgeous shades, while the Elantra is only available in six. So whether you’re interested in the eye-popping Fire Orange or the sophisticated Steel Gray, it’s easy to find stylish options to stand out on the Covina roads.

Forte vs. Elantra: Performance

The Hyundai Elantra fetches the higher price point, so you might expect it to pull more power on the Ontario roads. However, you might be surprised to find that both models offer nearly identical specs. Both are equipped with a 2.0L I-4 gasoline engine delivering 147 horsepower. So for many savvy drivers, it just makes sense to save the money and choose the Forte.
