A lot of drivers enjoy the practicality of a compact sedan. The redesigned 2019 Kia Forte has leaped to the forefront of the segment. It's now more efficient, roomier, and loaded with more innovative technology. While the new Forte has received great reviews, some people will also be looking at the 2019 Honda Civic. Let's find out which one of these cars wins this head-to-head comparison.

Features

Both of these cars come loaded with modern features. Nevertheless, the 2019 Kia Forte is a better bang for the buck. It comes standard with niceties that are only found on the Civic's more expensive trims. Smartphone users will greatly appreciate the Forte's revamped infotainment system. Not only does the interface provide an 8.0-inch touch screen, but it also benefits from Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Honda Civic buyers are forced to pay extra for these must-have features. Dual-zone automatic climate control is another one of the Forte's exclusive standard features. Furthermore, only the Forte provides Driver Attention Warning technology.

Styling

The 2019 Kia Forte's eye-catching exterior design has excited a lot of people. It shares a lot of styling cues with the performance-focused Kia Stinger, which has become one of today's highest-rated sports sedans. Expect the Forte's sporty front fascia with Kia's signature tiger-nose grille to immediately grab your attention. You will also like the sleek design of the Forte's projector headlamps. While even the base Forte FE is attractive, a few more appearance upgrades are found on the upper trims. A chrome exhaust tip and rear spoiler give the Forte an especially sharp look. Meanwhile available 17-inch alloy wheels accentate the Forte's powerful stance. Despite the Honda Civic's modern appearance, some people may find its styling to be not as stunning.
