The small car market is one that has been hot for a long time. But making a choice in the segment can be difficult for consumers. With Kia’s transformation going so well, the competition of 2014 Kia Forte vs Ford Focus is one that is really winding up. With the standard engines under the hood, both the new 2014 Forte and the 2013 Focus get identical fuel mileage. But, the Forte with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine beats out the Focus in performance with an impressive output of 173 horsepower. It also has more torque at 154 at 4700 RPM. Although it wins in the performance category, the 2014 Kia Forte surprisingly also brings it in capacity with 14.9 cubic ft of cargo space compared to just 13.2 cubic ft on the Focus. It’s pretty obvious that Kia has brought a winner to the small car segment with the new 2014 Kia Forte.
