2019 Kia Forte gas mileage
Like many cars, the Kia Forte’s efficiency is partly dependent on its transmission. Certain transmissions allow for better gas mileage than others. One option is a six-speed manual transmission. With this, drivers will average up to 37 highway mpg, 27 city mpg, and 31 combined mpg. That alone sounds like a fuel economy most drivers would take in a heartbeat. But it can get even better. Every trim level of the 2019 Forte comes available with a six-speed intelligent continuously variable transmission. This type of transmission can seamlessly change through a continuous range of gear ratios. That makes for a better fuel economy, as well. Drivers with this option will average up to 41 highway mpg, 31 city mpg, and 35 combined mpg.
