A 1.6-liter turbocharged I4 engine with 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque gets the GT moving. That's a pretty significant increase over the 147 hp and 132 lb-ft available in other Forte models,
The GT gets a new multilink rear suspension, replacing the standard Forte's torsion-beam setup and making the GT a much more competent performer than any other Forte.
Forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning and a driver attention monitor are standard, but blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and adaptive cruise control are all pay-to-play options.
The cabin isn't full of plush leather or anything like that, but there are a few interesting design elements like red accents, a soft texture pattern on the doors and some brushed aluminum along the dash.
