9th place: 2023 Kia Forte LX (with IVT) $22,210 + $1,700 $ in fees
Kia is also cleaning house: the Forte LX, the most affordable model in the lineup, also sees its manual option disappear this year.
Which means inflation is also having its say when it comes to this 2023 Forte LX. Yes, the IVT unit (for Intelligent Variable Transmission) will also make it easier for consumers to choose, but we’re still talking about a noticeable jump in cost for a model that, it should be added, does comes fairly well-equipped.
