Whether you're looking for the fuel efficient engine or the horsepower, the 2016 Kia Forte is up for the task. With the same size engine, the Forte and Cruze both offer great exterior design and an aerodynamic shape. However, the Kia Forte offers more horsepower, making acceleration quicker and providing an overall more responsive driving experience. The highway fuel economy is also slightly higher in the Forte, meaning you can spend just a little less time and money at the gas station. Both the Cruze and Forte come with great features, however, small details like the heated mirrors on the Forte make it stand out from the rest.  

Considering the interior of both vehicles, it's easy to see that modern technology and efficient use of space makes these compact sedans the comfortable vehicles they are. Great features like a first-row LCD screen or upgraded speakers are available for drivers looking to add a little luxury to the daily drive in the Cruze. The Forte's interior has a standard LCD screen and Bluetooth compatibility. However, standard features inside include cloth seating for up to five passengers, a standard auxiliary input jack, steering wheel audio controls, speed sensitive volume, and interior power outlets. When considering the differences between the Forte and the Cruze, the Forte's more powerful engine and additional interior technology features make it a great value for a compact sedan.
