2020 Kia Forte vs 2020 Hyundai Elantra
After a crash in the 2000s, Hyundai bought a stake in the Kia company to keep it afloat for the future. This has led to a lot of similarities and overlap in terms of priorities and models of both South Korean car companies. However, while the Hyundai brand does, to some extent, profit off the success of the Kia brand, the two companies are still in competition with one another. That brings us to our subject and comparison of the day.
The 2020 Kia Forte recently released with a few notable upgrades after a complete redesign for its 2019 model. Similarly, while not a redesign, the Hyundai Elantra had a facelift of its fifth generation for its 2019 model and now has an updated 2020 Hyundai Elantra out. Today, we compare both of these compact sedans, similar in terms of power, size, technology, price, and more! It’s the 2020 Kia Forte vs the 2020 Hyundai Elantra!
