2022 Kia Forte vs. 2022 Honda Civic: Outstanding Accessibility and Value

In a world full of crossovers, it takes a special sedan to rise to the top. The 2022 Forte combines a sporty attitude, a compact yet roomy design, and outstanding value that lasts. Equipped with a 2.0L powertrain that is one of the most efficient all-gas motors around in its class, the Forte aims to reduce its impact to your wallet and on resources.

Here, we compare the 2022 Forte to the 2022 Honda Civic.

The 2022 Kia Forte reigns in price

Not only is the Forte an outstanding sedan, a new 2022 is accessible for many buyers. The starting MSRP of $18,295 is a perfect reason to explore the entire lineup. As a matter of fact, there are four trims available with a lower starting MSRP than the entry-level Civic. The Forte's top-grade trims, the GT-Line and GT Limited (includes a turbocharged option), both MSRP at under $30,000.

The Civic sedan's starting MSRP of $24,465, but nearly half its lineup has initial pricing of over $30,000.

Impressive efficiency and performance capability in the 2022 Kia Forte

For many years, the Civic sedan was a petrol efficiency king in its class. The Forte sneaks up in 2022 and claims better highway fuel performance with an outstanding 5.9 L/100km fuel consumption rating on most trims.

Kia doesn't forget that some Forte owners want a little more out of their powertrains, so the GT Limited meets their need. A 1.6L turbo generates a road-gripping 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. It even edges out the Civic Si with a 1.5L turbo.

The Forte lineup offers even more choices with three transmissions. The LX MT features a 6-speed manual in the LX MT, the GT Limited includes a fast-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, and all other trims have a standard optimized intelligent continuously variable transmission (IVT). These are more exciting options than the Civic sedan's 6-speed manual and continuously variable transmission.

Inside, the Kia Forte dominates in terms of style, comfort and technologies. While the Honda Civic uses a blend of basic plastics and common materials, the Forte’s cabin dares to be different with more refined materials and textures.
