2024 Kia Forte vs 2024 Honda Civic in Naperville, IL
2024 Kia Forte shown above with optional features.
While the automotive industry is flush with compact cars, the 2024 Kia Forte is a standout option for those who take frequent trips around Naperville. See how it compares to the 2024 Honda Civic by reading this overview that we’ve constructed at Gerald Kia of Naperville! Also, view our testimonials to learn how we go above and beyond.
Technology
The entertainment functions of a vehicle are very important, so it’s not a surprise that the engineers at Kia packed the 2024 Forte with modern advancements. For instance, the base trim has a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen display1 in its center stack. The standard 7.0-inch version in the 2024 Civic hardly compares. In fact, even its available 9.0-inch screen is inferior to the optional 10.25-inch display1 in the Forte. Both vehicles have an available wireless phone charger2,3 that can be used to power a device as you go to Chicago on the weekend. However, the Kia model gains access to it at earlier trim levels than the Honda does. When you opt for the Forte, you will get regular maintenance reminders through the Kia Access App4, a feature that the Honda Civic simply doesn’t have.
Interior
Not only is the 2024 Kia Forte more technologically advanced than the 2024 Honda Civic, but you will also be more comfortable in the former. It has an optional 10-way power driver’s seat, whereas the Civic’s available upgrade is an 8-way power chair. The Kia model also has available power lumbar support for the captain’s seat, unlike the Honda vehicle. Since the Forte has 15.3 cubic ft. of cargo space5 in the trunk, you can store all your groceries as you drive down Highway 34. Unfortunately, the Honda Civic only offers 14.8 cubic ft. of storage room5. It is worth noting that both of these cars offer available dual-zone automatic climate control to make inclement weather more bearable.
Performance
Do you have a need for speed? The 2024 Forte is happy to help you stay in front of the competition with its standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. This can generate up to 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque, while its optional 1.6L 4-cylinder turbocharged motor produces 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. If you were to opt for the Honda Civic, you would only have access to a standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine or an available 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The former can achieve 158 horsepower6 and 138 lb.-ft. of torque7, and the latter only musters up 180 horsepower6 and 177 lb.-ft. of torque7. We can’t forget to mention that the Forte has a 30/41/35 MPG city/hwy/combined8 fuel economy rating that trounces the Civic’s 30/37/33 MPG city/hwy/combined9 rating.
