SPORTY, STYLISH, WELL-EQUIPPED, ONE-OWNER, LOCALLY OWNED, 19 SERVICE RECORDS, REGULAR OIL CHANGES, IMPRESSIVE EVERYDAY VALUE! This 2019 Kia Forte S arrives in sleek Aurora Black with 81,476 miles, combining sharp sport-sedan styling, impressive fuel efficiency and an especially appealing collection of comfort and technology features. Its upgraded S Premium Package adds a power sunroof, LED headlights with High Beam Assist and LED interior lighting, giving this Forte a more upscale personality than the typical compact sedan. CARFAX confirms one-owner personal-vehicle history, with ownership in New Jersey, including the Blackwood and Franklinville areas. Even better, the report documents 19 service-history records and regular oil changes, with the most recent oil and filter service performed in March 2026. Originally priced at $22,630, this Forte offers an attractive combination of equipment, documented maintenance and everyday practicality. WHY SHOPPERS BUY THIS MODEL The Kia Forte has long appealed to shoppers looking for more personality, equipment and value than the typical compact sedan. The redesigned 2019 generation brought sharper styling, a more contemporary cabin and improved technology, helping the Forte compete more convincingly with established favorites like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra. One of the Forte's greatest strengths is how much everyday usefulness it delivers without feeling like basic transportation. Its comfortable cabin, generous trunk, easy-to-use controls and efficient four-cylinder engine make it particularly well suited to commuting, running errands and longer highway trips. The S trim adds a sportier visual character, while this particular vehicle's S Premium Package brings desirable upgrades that make the ownership experience more enjoyable. It's a smart choice for someone who wants an affordable, stylish sedan with modern conveniences and a documented maintenance history. AUTOMOTIVE PRESS AND INDUSTRY RECOGNITION The redesigned 2019 Forte earned attention from automotive reviewers for its more sophisticated styling, improved cabin presentation and strong value proposition. Publications including Car and Driver and Edmunds recognized the Forte's competitive equipment, comfortable road manners and practical design. The redesign helped Kia move the Forte beyond its traditional role as a value-focused alternative, giving it a more distinctive appearance and a cabin that feels thoughtfully arranged. The Forte S is especially appealing because it adds visual character without sacrificing the economy and practicality that make the model attractive in the first place. WARRANTY The odometer currently reads 81,476 miles. The original Kia basic factory warranty has expired. Kia originally provided a 5-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty for the original retail owner. However, the 10-year powertrain coverage generally does not transfer in full to a subsequent retail purchaser; the subsequent-owner powertrain coverage is ordinarily limited to 5 years or 60,000 miles. Accordingly, this Forte should not be advertised as carrying remaining transferable factory powertrain warranty coverage. One of this vehicle's strongest selling points is its documented maintenance history. CARFAX reports 19 service-history records, with oil and filter changes recorded regularly throughout ownership. Particularly noteworthy maintenance includes: March 2026: Oil and filter changed, along with a maintenance inspection. October 2025: Oil and filter changed and brakes checked. August 2025: Oil and filter changed. December 2023: Front brakes replaced, brake rotors resurfaced, alignment performed and oil and filter changed. August 2022: Engine air filter and cabin air filter serviced, oil and filter changed and tires rotated. This is a meaningful record of routine upkeep and attention to important wear items over the years. Extended service plans may be available for buyers seeking additional protection. STANDARD FEATURES The 2019 Forte S brings together Kia's efficient compact-sedan engineering and a sportier equipment configuration. Its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, Intelligent Variable Transmission and front-wheel-drive layout emphasize smooth everyday operation and fuel economy. The S trim adds distinctive styling touches and a modern cabin designed around convenience and straightforward functionality. Standard equipment includes smartphone integration, a touchscreen multimedia system, driver-assistance technology and a comfortable interior with flexible cargo accommodations.
