A Mesmerizing Exterior
Gliding over available 17-inch alloy wheels as you cruise down U.S. 59, the Forte’s sleek body swiftly cuts the air with its aerodynamic curves. Gleaming, front and center, is Kia’s signature tiger-nose grille, which makes a grand entrance anywhere you arrive, while bearing, on either side, swept back optional High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlights, accompanied by available LED Positioning Lights. Should you choose to integrate the Dynamic Bending Light, you’ll be improving your visibility even further, as this will make the headlights tilt in the direction of your steer as you take on every curve and corner. Meanwhile, the available chrome window molding provides glints of sophistication, and the optional LED illuminated door handle pockets issue a warm glow to welcome you as you pull to access the cockpit.
The Heartbeat of a Mighty Powertrain
Looking further into the Kia Forte, you’ll find a feisty 2.0L Multi-point Injection 4-cylinder engine under the hood that delivers a potency of 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. It comes paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, but you can also opt to mate it to the Electronically Controlled 6-Speed Automatic Transmission with Sportmatic®, which will give you a formidable fuel economy of 29/37/32 MPG city/hwy/combined1. Alternatively, there’s the option of the 2.0L Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) 4-cylinder engine, which you will achieve 164 horsepower and 160 lb.-ft. of torque.
An Interior to Relax and Stay Connected
An available Smart Key with Push-Button Start is all it takes to get you started on your journey. Sit back and relax as you indulge in the opulent leather-trimmed seating surfaces and the 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar support. Further comfort can be obtained by adding the optional heated and ventilated front seats that offer three settings to regulate the temperature intensity, while also taking advantage of the available dual-zone automatic temperature control. Meanwhile, just pair up your smartphone with Bluetooth®2 Wireless Technology Hands-Free Connectivity. You can answer and make calls via the steering wheel-mounted controls and also access your playlists, apps, and more, through the available UVO eServices3 Infotainment System with 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlayTM4, and Android AutoTM5.

Testimonials
Exceptional Dealership!





Best Place To Buy A Car!





“ One of the greatest places in Shreveport to buy a car! ”
Going Beyond The Call of Duty





“ I purchased a brand new 2017 Kia Optima from the Shreveport store and I'm more than happy with my car. My sales person was Mr. CLEM LOTT. Y'ALL he went over and beyond the call of duty to get me the car I wanted. He is very professional and make sure your good and understand the process before you leave the lot. My experience with Kia have been great I pray that it stays that way. I'm loving my car. I named her Sugar. Lol!!! So head on over to Kia in Shreveport and ask for the best sales person by the name of CLEM LOTT because, he'll do you right.Team KIA!!!! ”
Totally Different Experience





“ My wife and I stopped by earlier today to check out one of those smart cars parked out front. Just curious about them but was hesitant to do so because we all know what that would lead to. I can't stand that with a PASSION, but we did anyway. Low and behold, Ms Simone S. made it a totally different experience from all the rest that we have met before. She has a great attitude, very knowledgeable,easy to talk to, and patient. Even though we're not in the market at this time for a vehicle. When the time comes, it will be from Ms Simone. Note: to the powers that be, she's a keeper!! ”
THE ABSOLUTE Best Experience!





“ Ok, my husband and I went today and worked with Bob Baker!! It was THE ABSOLUTE best experience. He is a very professional, kind hearted person, and he KNOWS THE BUSINESS. All of the staff was very friendly, and manners go a long way with me....I would highly recommend anyone to try Kia!! ”
Above and Beyond





“ Awesome, awesome! Seth Pitre, my sales person did an exceptional job. The sales manager, finance manager, and even the customer service manager was awesome. The all went above and beyond to make this happen, they even drove to Texas to finish the deal!! Great group of people!!! ”
Friendly and Helpful





“ I took my daughter to find a vehicle at Orr Kia of Shreveport. From the time we got there, they took great care of us. Wes was on time for our appointment. He listened to what my daughter wanted so much so that when he showed her a vehicle, she told me " It's like he read my mind." Everybody we had contact with was friendly and helpful! ”
Great Service





“ I got my car on black Friday 2016. I've had nothing but good experiences from day one. Kia services my vehicle even after the sale. I receive emails letting me know when my car is due service. I'm thankful for the emails because with my busy life I need the reminders. Brian Beard was my salesman. I'm not sure if he is still there. If he is ya'll go see him he will take care of you. ”
Sincerity





“ Sean the salesman was very personable and he seemed sincere. ”
Made Sure I Had EVERYTHING I Needed!





“ I wasn't really searching for a car, however I needed one. Adnan contacted me..He was great !!! He handled any inconveniences I had by making sure that I had everything I needed. I was in a new Forte 5 within two hours. KIA and Adnan were a great help to me. I recommend them to anyone looking for a new car!!! ”
Honesty

You Certainly Won Me Over!





“ Thank you Josh & Larry for taking such great care of me! You went above and beyond in the customer service department!!! I love my 2015 Sorrento, and thanks to you I am a ORR KIA customer for life! You certainly won me over! ”
Tremendous Experience!!





“ Doug Donohue had my car waiting for me when I got there, had me pre- approved and I spent a total of 1 1/2 hours there completing paperwork and getting in to my new ride. He even transferred the stuff from my old car to my new car. He has a personal touch that helped ease the transition and I felt very appreciated and welcomed. He and Justin helped so fast and so comprehensively that I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase an American made car. Their plant is in Georgia. Anyway, they answered all questions. Doug even adjusted my seat for me LOL. I have always had to just sit and wait forever for a vehicle but not this time!! My appt was from 5-7 and I rolled out of there at 630. Tremendous experience!! ”
Customer Service Was GREAT!





“ Customer service was great! They believe in helping their customers & they really & truly went out above & beyond! Felicia & her bosses realy worked their butt off to help me get approved for a car. I would recommend them to anyone. If I think of getting another car in the near future I will definitely be back! ”
