2021 Kia Forte vs 2021 Hyundai Elantra

The Kia and Hyundai companies have an odd relationship. Hyundai technically owns roughly one-third of the Kia Motors Corporation, and the companies have close ties where they share insights in terms of technologies and vehicle builds to better both brands. A somewhat similar relationship can be seen between Chevrolet and GMC of General Motors. However, for the average consumer, this background is immaterial, meaning both Kia and Hyundai are also still in fierce competition with one another. 


That brings us to today’s competition with the latest Kia Forte and Hyundai Elantra models. As the compact sedan entry of their respective brand, the 2021 Kia Forte and the 2021 Hyundai Elantra have quite a lot in common. Therefore, let’s see how the Kia Forte holds up against the redesigned Elantra. From the Cape Kia team, it’s the 2021 Kia Forte vs the 2021 Hyundai Elantra!

2021 Kia Forte Cape Girardeau, MO


While nearly identical in terms of performance due to the shared insights between Kia and Hyundai, the Kia Forte model offers more cargo space and a more affordable price tag. This is due to the fact that the new Elantra model is a redesign, causing its costs to go up. Therefore, you can enjoy nearly the exact same driving experience for less with the reliable 2021 Kia Forte compact sedan, which comes with the following available features:


  • 8" Touchscreen with Voice Command Navigation
  • Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®
  • Auto Headlight Control
  • Drive Mode Select
  • Front and Rear LED Lighting
  • Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System
  • Heated and Ventilated Seating
  • Kia Drive Wise Safety Technologies
  • Parking Sensors
  • Power Sunroof
  • Smart Key with Push Button Start
  • SOFINO Artificial Leather Seating
  • Wireless Phone Charger
  • And More!
