About the Kia Forte:

The 2024 Forte is a compact that packs a big punch — with performance improvements, the latest technology innovations, and sleek styling. See how the Forte’s spirit breaks the rules so you can rule the road.

Innovation can be a hassle. That’s why the all-new 2024 Forte packs an available Smart Trunk™. You don’t have to wave your hands or balance on one foot. All you need to do is stand there with the Smart Key, and voila.

True power means being untethered from rules and conventions. It means charging ahead with no strings attached. Now you can charge up as you charge your own road with available wireless charging in the GT trims of the 2024 Forte. See it in action, and hold on for the ride.

The all-new 2024 Forte is a compact that packs in the innovation. With new technology like the big 8″ touch-screen that comes standard in the LX and LXS editions and 10.25” screens in the GT trims, the world is at your fingertips and easier to command than ever. Reach out and see for yourself.

About the Kia K5:

The K5’s new sportier styling for 2024 is punctuated at every corner with striking front and rear fascia, complementing Kia’s signature tiger-nose grille. The K5 has an undeniable style that commands attention on the road.

The K5 EX exterior touches are distinctive. The outside mirrors and side sills add character and personality, while 18” gray machined finish wheels make a statement. With so many unique design details, the K5 EX is just as appealing to look at as it is to drive.

The available Smart Welcome assists by detecting your Smart Key, automatically unfolding the outside mirrors, and turning on the Optima door pocket lights—for easy entry when it’s dark. Then, just stand behind the K5 with your Smart Key, and the Smart Trunk opens automatically.

About the Kia Sportage:

Drive outside of the box in a modern compact crossover with the Kia Sportage in Smyrna. With an elegant, extroverted exterior distinguished by sweeping curves, sleek lines, and thoroughly contemporary features, the 2024 Sportage captivates the eye and inspires a sense of adventure with its dynamic styling.

The Sportage sets its own aesthetic standards for the compact crossover. Its striking tiger-nose grille, elegant side contours, prominent wheel arches, coupe-like roof, and satin silver touches achieve a precise balance between luxurious sophistication and dynamic sportiness.

Upgraded and unforgettable, the Sportage’s striking good looks begin with its front end. Elongated headlights sweep back gracefully into the body, perched above a distinctive tiger-nose grille and available LED front fog lights that help illuminate adventure.

The sporty, bold character of the Sportage expresses itself to the very end, culminating in the dashing, sculpted lines of the rear exterior.

About the Kia Sorento:

The 2024 Sorento upgrades standard utility with optimal versatility to fit any lifestyle, whether in town or off-road. The exterior facelift adds sleek, sculpted lines to its bold, wide stance, while available LED headlights illuminate your drive with a modern touch to match its personality. Best of all, with standard 3-row, 8-person seating, you can comfortably fit even more friends on your road to adventure.

Whether you’re shopping in town or camping out, the 2024 Sorento makes extra room for fun and adventure with its standard 8-person seating and flexible, spacious interior that adapts to your needs. Second-row sliding seats give rear passengers easy third-row access, while standard Remote Release lets you conveniently fold down the second row while standing at the rear of the vehicle to expand space as you pack in your cargo.

Get a helping hand next time you load up. Intuitive and automatic, the available hands-free Smart Power Liftgate™ opens when it senses your smart key—with no hands or feet required. The liftgate can be adjusted to your height preference, making closing the hatch even easier for you and easier on the ceiling of your garage.
