Carivo independent review & score
The 2022 Kia Forte S. Carivo rates it 7.7/10 — middle of the pack. It does enough right to be a reasonable choice, but the scores don’t make a compelling case for picking it over class leaders.
Value is the argument here at 8.9/10. More features and capability per dollar than most sedan rivals at this price — the math works in the buyer’s favour. Performance at 6.6/10 is a real gap — segment leaders outperform it here by a noticeable margin.
As a budget-end sedan ($21,852–$27,967, 31 MPG, 5 passengers), the price is the main draw. Weigh the lower cost against any weak-scoring dimensions before signing. At 4 years old, this model predates meaningful updates to the Kia Forte S lineup. Check how the current generation scores differently before committing to the older version.
