Most new cars come with different trim options, which allow you to get a version of the vehicle that is slightly different from the others. With trim options, the base car is still essentially the same, but there may be differences in the engine type, the fuel efficiency, or the color options available. The 2021 Kia Forte is no exception in providing trim options.
