When it comes to pricing, the 2021 Hyundai Elantra costs a bit more with an MSRP starting at $19,650* compared to the Kia Forte at $17,890 MSRP, but you get significantly more interior space for the modest cost difference. You’ll find many similar features inside, such as an 8-inch color touchscreen, Android Auto,™ Apple CarPlay®, and more. They also share similar trunk space, but the Elantra’s interior provides more room to stretch out on those drives out to Sparks with a cabin volume of up to 113.6 cubic feet, while the interior volume of the Kia Forte measures only 96.0 cubic feet.
If you want a powerful performance for your Fernley drives, you’ll find that both models offer a similar engine that provides nearly identical specs. However, each engine option is combined with a unique transmission, and the Smartstream® technology of the Hyundai Elantra offers better control and delivers a better fuel economy than the Kia Forte.
