2021 Toyota Corolla vs. 2021 Kia Forte


Overview

The 2021 Toyota Corolla and Kia Forte have similar, modern designs. Let's compare two of their most important features to help you choose the right vehicle.


Design

The 2021 Toyota Corolla and Kia Forte are two of the most stylish and modern sedans in the market. Let's take a closer look at their design differences. The Kia Forte features a sporty look with a sloping front end and blackened accents. The thin LED headlights fit the design perfectly, while also improving visibility. The Toyota Corolla underwent a complete redesign just two years ago. This year's model features a bold front end with a black and bronze body kit. The modern design flows to the rear end with an aero spoiler. The Corolla also features updated 18-inch alloy wheels, improving both the design and performance of the vehicle.




Comfort

While both options will provide you with a comfortable ride, there are minimal differences to know. Both vehicles come with a six-way power-adjustable driver's seat, but the Toyota Corolla has a little more support and easier access to the larger touch-screen driver infotainment system. The interior of the Corolla is also a little more quiet and comfortable with premium leather materials and noise-canceling properties.




Technology

In today's times, you expect your vehicle to have the latest technologies. Both vehicles offer the ability to sync your smartphone. The Kia Forte offers you a long list of hands-free capabilities, including phone calls, text messages, and a voice command navigation system. The Toyota Corolla comes with these same features with the addition of the Remote Connect feature and an available in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot. You can use the Remote Connect feature to access your Corolla vehicle from your smartphone, including the ability to lock, unlock, or remotely start your vehicle from afar.




Power

Both sedans offer you ample power to manage your daily commute. The Kia Forte comes equipped with two engine choices, a 2.0-liter engine with 147 horsepower or a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with 201 horsepower. The Toyota Corolla also has two engine options. Standard is a 1.8-liter with 139 horsepower and an upgraded 2.0-liter with 169 horsepower is also available. While they also both come with two transmission options, the Toyota Corolla has an available upgraded CVT, giving you greater control over your vehicle's efficiency. The 2021 Kia Forte is designed for drivers who enjoy a sportier look.
