As we bid farewell to one of Kia's most popular compact sedans, the Kia Forte – who, in case you weren’t aware, was sadly discontinued for the 2025 model year – many Joplin drivers may be wondering what new model will come to take its place. As a staple in the brand's lineup for over a decade, the Forte came with pretty tough wheels to fill. Thankfully, Kia is here to deliver.
