Great video! I love how detailed your explanation of the car and it’s features was! I picked up my 2021 Kia Forte EX Plus last weekend and I love it so far! Keep up the awesome videos! 😊🙌
These videos are really helpful! Can you compare the Seltos to the Forte? Maybe have 2 models that are in a similar price range? Would also love to see a video at night time comparing Fortes withe LED vs non LED lights!
We're meeting with our local Kia Dealership on Saturday next week (October 30)! I live in the Vancouver area. I got my heart set on the EX+ but my budget can only do an EX. Hope we could get a deal that would still meet my financial capability and get the higher trim. By the way I love your videos, Peter! And I love Teddy!!
Bought a 2021 Kia Forte EX in US trim from Carvana today. I'll get it Monday. Its fully loaded in EX trim in this country - ventilated leatherette seats, Harman Kardon premium sound, 8-way power driver's seat with lumbar, wireless charging pad and so much more. I can't wait to get it. Its in the same gray as the Forte in this video, but in the US the wheels are the same design, but brighter silver color (unfortunately).
My car was stolen and I thank God that I got it back , the problem I have is that the person still has the key. I have one key and he has the other what can I do for my car not to get stolen again
I have the exact car I bought out in Durham, I'm trying to update the Infotainment system but continues to tell me there is nothing in the update port. I'm assuming this port is the same one you plug the phone into because there is no SD slot above the hazards like the other models. Do you have any idea why it doesn't detect the USB drive in the phone port? is that the right port? I made the USB drive properly with the Kia/Hyundai application.
I’m really liking your videos. I’ve recently decided to move in from my 2016 VW Jetta and am seriously considering the Kia Forte. I’ve been watching all your videos in the car and am Sold on this car thanks to your videos. Now time to drive one and make final decision on package.. Thank you for the help! This is going above and beyond for your customers. Unfortunately I’m too far from your location to come buy from you..But I will be telling whatever dealership I do buy from how you helped me to make my decision! Cheers
Hi there just got the same car only difference it’s white for some reason when I unlock the car at night my headlight will not turn on even on the auto setting. My stepmother has the exact same car same year except hers is a LX trim ours is an ex+ her lights will turn on at night when I unlock it but mine will not not sure why? I have the lights in auto. Does it have something to do with them being leds?
Whats the difference between EX and EX+? Do they have the same safety features? Also, 2020 and 2021 are the same minus the different colour wheels, right?
Does some of the Forte ex 2021 don’t come with sunroof? By the way thank you so much for this video, it’s very helpful for ppl like myself who know nothing about cars but currently financing a Kia Forte Ex 2021 and still can’t figure it out, kinda having a hard time with the map too, I can only hear the audio but don’t show on the screen
The EX+ (EX PLUS) model will have a sunroof. I'm not sure why you're having the issue that you're having, but you can check with your local dealer. They should be able to help you quickly.
I currently drive a 2017 Forte but I am extremely interested in the K5 that replaces the optima. I apologize for not being on topic. I’m honestly not a big fan of this Forte design compared to my 2017 but it’s ok.
Yeah, we're all looking forward to seeing the K5 in person! I plan to have a number of videos up on that car as soon as we get it. Thanks for commenting.
I called KIA of Irvine and Los Angeles today looking for a 2020 KIA forte GT2 package with an automatic / DCT and they said there is none left, have they stopped making them?
I would assume that they don't have 2020 models anymore, but the 2021 models are starting to show up. We've already received our first few 2021 Kia Forte's. The factory has stopped making 2020 models, for sure.
@@kasra1288 I wouldn't know. I tend to pay attention to when they arrive at the dealership, and that can vary quite a bit from region to region and even from dealer to dealer.
I bought a GT2 one month ago from Irvine. After the initial coronavirus shutdowns, Kia shut down their factories temporarily. They then started pumping the Forte GT's back out around June and stopped soon after (My Forte GT arrived in mid-July, and had production sticker of June 26). They have now transitioned to 2021 models.
I just bought a 2022 Kia Forte GT line it has the Harman kardon stereo system but the volume button will only go up to 75%, volume how can I fix this ?
That's interesting. I'm wondering if there's a setting that allows the user to limit things to 75% To be honest, I haven't turned the volume up that high in these cars. You may want to just double check with your local service department to see if there's anything abnormal there.
That's odd... Usually to set the clock, you just tap the clock to get to the clock settings menu. Sometimes people forget to tap the daylight savings time check box, and that can can cause the clocks to be an hour off for large parts of the year. If that doesn't help, maybe check with your dealer, it sounds like something that should be a simple fix if you were to demonstrate to someone in person.
Great video. Right now we don't have GT trims in stock, but we do plan to do a trim line comparison for 2021 Forte's in the future! Thanks for the suggestion.
No. If you get the GT package or GT Limited package you have a completely different rear suspension, but on the vehicles with the 2.0 litre engine, you have the torsion beam rear suspension.
im now working for Montrose kia im in the usa if u want maby we could work together also im try watching your vids to learn about the cars so ik what to talk about to sell cars
The best advice that I can give is to always be professional. Know your product, do your best to communicate clearly, listen to your customers, and be helpful to everyone that you work with. That alone will take you a long way.
@@BrantfordKia thx and im trying my best and learning what i can i think so far the car bisness is fun but competive but it can teach u life skills as well and i like that
@@BrantfordKia I really had my heart set on an SUV but decided to try the Forte. I don't know what it was but I sat in it and went "ohhh" all the SUV had something but they couldn't give me everything. R.I.P my 2011 Elantra.
Assume Android Auto is included? How does that even get missed when test driving a vehicle? The sales rep is suppose to tell you about all the features of the car. All the dealerships I went to asked me if I use Android or Apple and showed me how to connect the phone by USB.
@@BrantfordKia This part: ua-cam.com/video/rcCmco1CzJA/v-deo.html People will only notice Apple CarPlay is included but Android Auto is not included after they purchase the car? I don't know how that is possible since the sales rep goes through all the features. As of 2021, Toyota Corolla will also have Android Auto; so both.
@@TheHi-T Yeah, I think what happens is the salesperson asks what type of phones people have and if they say iPhone, they get the Apple tutorial, if that customer switches to Android, or if that customer has another driver that has a different phone, that's where the problems arise. Also, to be fair, the customer is in charge of the delivery process, if the customer doesn't want to spend the time to go over every aspect of the car, but instead wants to get going on their way, they're free to do so. We handle that a little differently here. I often spend time with a customer a week after they bought a vehicle just to go over some of the features that they would like to know more about after figuring out a lot of the vehicle on their own.
@@BrantfordKia As soon as I got inside the car to test drive, my KIA sales rep asked if I use Android or Apple. Also mentioned some brands only have Apple CarPlay. Right away showed me how to connect via USB.
There are a lot of videos out there doing what you want them to do. We do something different. It's ok if what I do isn't for you. We also make shorter videos in different formats.
Great video! I love how detailed your explanation of the car and it’s features was! I picked up my 2021 Kia Forte EX Plus last weekend and I love it so far! Keep up the awesome videos! 😊🙌

We've loosely compared these in the past, but I might be able to do that again as soon as tomorrow.

@@jeffmorse645 Yeah, the U.S. warranty is fantastic!
I just got a new 2021 kia forte last Friday and love it !!! Hello from pa
Hello! Thanks for watching!
Welcome back 🙂 hope you had a good and restful vacation. Glad to see your videos again.
Thank you for that! Also, thanks for watching!
Right on for the video, I just got a 2021 down here in Mexico.
Been seeing a lot of your content recently.
Awesome! Enjoy your new car! Thanks for watching!
Great video! Are you gonna make a review of the 21’ GT Limited?
Absolutely. As soon as we have it in stock, you'll see it here.
Just watched this. Great review.
Thanks for your kind words!
My car was stolen and I thank God that I got it back , the problem I have is that the person still has the key. I have one key and he has the other what can I do for my car not to get stolen again
The model I had already had cargo hooks & net. I just bought another one and these hooks aren’t there; how do I add them?

Is this gonna be what the 2021 Forte will look like in the US?
It should be similar. Trim lines and options may vary, but the body style is going to be the same.
Yes...

It depends on what trim level you want.

KIA forte EX vs SX vs GT, whats the difference please?
Great video. Right now we don't have GT trims in stock, but we do plan to do a trim line comparison for 2021 Forte's in the future! Thanks for the suggestion.
Is there an announced release date for the gt model in the US?
We are based in Canada, I don't get a lot of information about U.S. release dates. I'm sorry.
Brantford Kia All good thanks for the informative stream!
@@timlee7636 i just started working for Montrose Kia like 2 weeks ago but im start watching these vids to learn about cars for Kia
Can you turn the lights all the way off?
Yes, they have an OFF setting, AUTO, Marker lights, and ON.
How is kia forte 2021 EX plus different from the 2020 model?
Darker wheels... on that model, that's it. :)
the 2015 forte has welcome lights from the outside door handles when the car unlocks. does this forte have it?
I believe they moved away from that feature. I know it's not on lower trims, I'll have to double check the GT models.
As I live in a snow state, is their any Kia Forrte with awd?
No, but we sell a lot of Forte's here in Canada. Consider good winter tires, you may find that's all you need!
Do forte have automatic transmission and AWD?
Automatic, Yes. AWD, no.
Hi I have problem in my 2021 forte the problem is (soc fuse off) in dash bord monetar ..can u help me
I'm not very good at diagnosing things on UA-cam. If you have an issue with your vehicle, I recommend speaking with your local Kia dealer about that.
So what forte do I have. I don't have a sunroof
That's tough for me to tell you based on only that one feature.
Is it coming up with smart Cruz control with stop & go?
This car is available with Smart Cruise Control on higher trim levels.
@@BrantfordKia does ex plus comes with it or only in gt trim?
@@ashutoshgandhi6490 The EX Premium is one step up from the EX+. That car looks very similar to the EX+ but it has the feature you're looking for.
@@BrantfordKia Thanks for the information....😀👍
Same Auto/cvt as last year????
Yes. The GT models have a dual clutch 7 speed automatic, and for 2021 the Forte5 GT is available in just that trim line with a 6 speed manual.
What is the light on dashboard next to the lane keeping assist
Is it shown in this video? I'm not sure which light you are referring to.
Backup cam on it?
Yes, every new car sold in Canada in 2021 will come equipped with a backup camera.
hi. Has the rear suspension been changed?
No. If you get the GT package or GT Limited package you have a completely different rear suspension, but on the vehicles with the 2.0 litre engine, you have the torsion beam rear suspension.
@@BrantfordKia thanks. So no change with last year.
@@helix7564 Correct. The wheels are a new colour, as shown in this video, and on this trim, that's the only update.
