Introduced in 2008 to replace the Cerato and Spectra lines, the Kia Forte is a compact car.

It goes under various names around the world including K3, Shuma or Cerato in South America.

The first Forte's sold in North America was built on a chassis taken from the Hyundai Elantra which still rings true in this 2021 version.

2021 models are an example of the third generation of this car that first hit showrooms in 2018 and takes styling cues from the Stinger model.

A year before the 6-speed automatic transmission was discontinued so your 2021 model should be either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch.

An abundance of technology was added to the car in 2018 and this has led many drivers to seek the owner's manual on this page for help.

A few pages inside the PDF embedded on this page you should find the table of contents that will instantly take you to the section you need.

Toward the rear of the manual are a maintenance and care section covering important information essential to keeping your 2021 Kia Forte safe, reliable and retaining its value.
