2021 Kia Forte for Sale near Port Clinton, OH

2021 Kia Forte shown above with available options.

You can find a combination of flair and function when you choose the 2021 Kia Forte as your next compact sedan! We’ve got this ride on our sales floor at Halleen Kia of Sandusky, and you can take it for a trip around the block when you visit during our open hours. Before then, let’s see what this model has to offer.

Technology

The inside of the 2021 Forte is packed with modern features to make each drive convenient and exciting. Whenever you want to access messages, phone calls, or music, simply tap into standard Bluetooth®1 Wireless Technology with Hands-Free Connectivity. This will let you keep your eyes on the road while you stay entertained! Also standard is an 8-inch color touchscreen display2, which sits in the center stack and lets you operate multimedia with ease. Not to mention, the music you play inside the Forte will be projected from a standard 4-speaker system or an optional 8-speaker Harman Kardon®3 premium audio setup. In addition to this, if you want to refill your phone’s battery but are tired of cords in your cabin, then opt for the available wireless charging station4!

Exterior

Another area in which the 2021 Kia Forte excels is appearance. With a low, athletic stance and striking lines and contours, all eyes will be on you as you cruise down Fremont Road. You can take things even further by upgrading the standard 15-inch steel wheels to the available 18-inch GT two-tone alloy wheels. Nighttime won’t hinder your flair either, as the Forte comes with standard projector beam headlights and available automatic LED counterparts. Even when the sun is high in the sky, you’ll still stand out, as this car has standard LED daytime running lights. When the time comes to add your own spin to the Forte’s look, pick from colors like Clear White, Aurora Black Pearl, and Gravity Grey.

Performance

Did you think we’d forget to cover the exciting capabilities of the 2021 Forte? Not a chance! This set of wheels is equipped with a standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that can crank out a spirited 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. If you are interested in getting a bit more verve during your morning commutes, then you may want to consider upgrading to the optional 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder system. That way, you’ll be able to experience all the force of 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque with each tap of the gas pedal. However, by sticking with the base edition, you’ll be able to get to your destination efficiently, thanks to its 27/37/31 MPG city/hwy/combined fuel economy rating.

Now that you’re up to speed on the details of the 2021 Kia Forte for sale near Port Clinton, OH, come to Halleen Kia of Sandusky! We’d love to show you what it can do up close, so if you have any questions in the meantime, don't hesitate to contact us.

Marla was exceptional!! She was patient, understanding and worked diligently in the best interest of my mother. It was a pleasure working with her and I would recommend anyone that wants to purchase a Kia to go see Marla. We couldn't have asked for better customer service, genuine interest in our needs, and a more friendly person. Great work, Marla!! You are very much appreciated.

TOP TIER TEAM = This is the place for you. Exceptional product, value and service. My family and I drove 400 miles round trip to Sandusky - would do it again. Ownership was outside, under my hood, explaining a question I had about my engine. Very friendly and interested in getting things correct. Sales and finance spent the extra time and energy to make sure my whole family had a great experience; one that was as efficient as possible due to our long trip back home! Answered all our many questions with honesty and good cheer. We left satisfied and very glad we made the long trip to Halleen Kia of Sandusky.

A great experience

I met with Matthew Wilhelm when I arrived at the dealership. I didn't have an idea in mind of what type of vehicle I wanted, but I did know how much I wanted to spend. Within minutes, he had picked out a car that fit in my budget and I love it. My family has purchased 2 vehicles from Halleen and both times it's been a great experience.

With a wife, 10 year old & 2 year old (and trading in our only car), car shopping can be challenging to actually test drive enough cars to find the one for you. Paul was patient & willing to help with getting everyone in & out of vehicles, toddler car seats & all, in order to help us decide on the '15 Kia Optima that we purchased. Richard was also very helpful in financing & also super friendly. When it's time to either add another car to our family, or trade in this one, I know where I'll be shopping.

We shopped most all of the local dealerships in the area

We shopped most all of the local dealerships in the area and the sales people were agressive with sales and were angered and offended when you asked them to calm down and some were simply irate when you you told them you were going elsewhere. We stumbled on the Halleen Kia in Sandusky Ohio and the salesman, Mathew Wilhelm, approached us with a calm demeanor gave us some quick info and left us to browse. Once we found a few new vehicles we were interested in, we approached Matt with a few questions and concerns which he answered promptly without hesitation or having to "ask his manager" like at other dealerships. We test drove the vehicles we were interested in and had a very enjoyable experience speaking with Matt. We shared stories and laughs as if we had been friends for years. His kindness was truly refreshing. He made our car buying experience a great one wich we will never forget. He represented himself and his buisness well. During the purchase process the owner came out to greet us and inquire about out experience. The owner personally thanked us for the purchase of our 2017 Kia Soul Plu

Even though I had some issues for him to work around he found a way to make the deal work for both of us.

I was in to have 2 recalls looked into on my 2012 KIA Optima EX. The associate took the time to explain what they were doing and why. The overall environment was comfortable. No one was a stranger, I felt I'd known everyone I came in contact with for at least 10+years!! (Besides the owner saying "Hi" & scaring the living daylights out of me---that moment you're consumed by whatever you brought to pass the time & aren't expecting anyone to speak to you! Definitely a hilarious moment!) It was VERY apparent that they were there to help someone make ONE of the biggest decisions of their lives; that's best for YOU, the customer and not THEIR pocket!

Excellent, no worries.
