Camping season puts a specific set of demands on a family SUV: enough cargo room for gear, enough seats for everyone, and a powertrain that won’t need constant fuel stops on the way to the site. The 2026 Kia Sorento HEV checks each of those boxes, and stepping up to the SX trim adds a further layer of comfort and technology for the drive there and back. Every Sorento HEV comes with all-wheel...
The 2022 Kia Forte is a subcompact car that is packed full of the features you want, which makes it a great value in its category
The Safety and Convenience features
The 2022 Kia Forte is equipped with a host of technologies designed to keep you safe and connected. For example, every Forte comes standard with Apple Car Play and Android Auto, the heated seats and a 4.2-inch digital display in the instrument cluster. Available features include the heated steering wheel and the heated rear seats, the automatic climate control, the Harman Kardon premium sound system and the ventilated front seats.
Relating to your safety, the Forte is available with the adaptive cruise control, the forward collision alert, the blind spot monitoring system, the rear cross-traffic alert and the lane keeping assist. All of these systems make driving easier and less stressful by allowing you to see things you can’t physically see and by giving you the confidence to know that your car is looking out for you.
The practicality
The 2022 Kia Forte is a very practical small car since it makes a clever use of space. The Forte’s trunk can hold 433 liters, which is more than most of its competitors and enough to carry all the luggage you need for a weekend getaway with you family.
If you need even more space, the rear seat folds in a 40/60 split, which allows you to carry much more cargo while still having one or two people sat in the rear. If only two people are in the car, both sections can be folded to allow long objects to be loaded from the trunk right up to the backs of the front seats. The Forte’s use of space also comes in handy for the comfort of the occupants, since more space around each seat means that everyone abord will enjoy longer trips without feeling crammed in.
