- [Narrator] The 2022 Toyota Corolla
versus the 2022 Kia Forte.
Let's learn a bit more about these compact sedans.
With 10 airbags and Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 standard,
Corolla brings a safety benchmark to the segment.
Corolla Hybrid has an EPA estimated
52 miles per gallon combined rating,
helping to keep trips to the pump at a minimum.
With its sport-tuned exhaust and suspension,
lightweight wheels, and other performance features,
Corolla Apex Edition sets itself apart
from the competition with a sporty edge.
Now let's put Corolla and Forte side by side.

Corolla is available in five core grades,
and two special editions,
including not just the blacked out Night Shade Edition,
but also the performance oriented Apex Edition models
that like Corolla SE,
are both available with a six speed manual transmission.
Corolla can also be had with a hybrid powertrain
with outstanding EPA fuel economy estimates.
The 2022 Forte is available in four grades
with two engine choices.
While neither offers hybrid technology,
one does offer an added boost of turbocharged power,
along with an available six speed manual transmission.

Corolla brings premium exterior features to every buyer,
with standard LED headlights and taillights,
and even offers an available black roof.
Meanwhile, the new Apex Edition
adds bronze colored exterior accents, a body kit,
and 18 inch black flow formed alloy wheels
that let Corolla stand out from the crowd.
The redesigned Forte is striking,
but LED headlights, taillights and fog lights
are not standard on every model.
Similarly, a hands-free trunk makes loading easier,
but is only available from the GT line grade and up.

On the inside, Corolla features
a standard 4.2 inch multi information display,
while a large seven inch display is available as an option,
and in the back, standard 60/40 split folding rear seats
make bringing home that new 4K TV a breeze.
Forte now comes standard with a 4.2 inch LCD cluster
but it lacks any larger options.
Comfort features like,
dual-zone automatic temperature control,
and ventilated front seats,
are available at additional cost.

The Toyota Audio Multimedia System,
features standard compatibility for Apple CarPlay,
which connects drivers to Apple music, maps, messages,
and other favorite apps from your iPhone.
In addition, Android Auto compatibility
makes it easy to stay connected to Android devices,
while Amazon Alexa connectivity,
keeps Amazon's Voice service just a question away.
Plus there's a standard three month,
SiriusXM Platinum Plan trial subscription,
that includes over 165 channels available in cabin,
and even more on the SXM Mobile App,
making it easier than ever to enjoy, not just ad free music,
but also sports, comedy and more.
Corolla can also be equipped
with a 9-speaker JBL Premium Audio System,
and if all this wasn't enough,
all grades include trials to Toyota's Connected Services,
which has available destination assist,
and dynamic navigation.
Forte does have a standard eight inch touch screen
but it's paired with a four speaker audio system,
a 10 point 25 inch touch screen,
and six speaker audio system,
are available in higher more expensive grades,
and an eight speaker 320 watt Harman Kardon system
comes in the top of the line GT manual.
Similarly Forte features Apple CarPlay,
and Android Auto compatibility standard,
but it isn't compatible with Amazon's Voice Service,
that said, a SiriusXM,
three month platinum plan trial is available.
Toyota's commitment to safety is obvious
in Corolla's array of 10 airbags,
and its standard Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 Suite
of advanced features like dynamic radar cruise control,
pre-collision system with daytime bicyclist detection,
and nighttime pedestrian detection.
Forte offers six airbags,
and the Kia Drive Wise Active Safety Suite.
While not as comprehensive as Toyota Safety Sense 2.0,
it does offer a few similar features,
such as forward collision avoidance warning and assist,
and lane keeping assist and lane departure warning.
Corolla is offered with three powertrains,
139 horsepower engine, a 169 horsepower engine,
and an efficient 121 horsepower hybrid powertrain,
that has an EPA estimated 52 miles per gallon
combined rating.
An Apex Edition adds sport-tuned exhaust and suspension,
lightweight wheels, and other performance features
to bring smiles to the daily drive.
Forte comes with a 147 horsepower engine
that has an EPA estimated 33 miles per gallon,
combined rating on most models.
It can also be optioned
with a 201 horsepower turbocharged engine,
and a sport-tuned dual exhaust,
but fuel economy drops to an EPA estimated
30 mile per gallon combined.

Corolla drivers can rest a little easier,
knowing the 2022 Corolla
has a five star overall safety rating from the NHTSA,
and has been recognized as an IIHS top safety pick,
when properly equipped.

5-Year Cost to Own Award.
Corolla also comes standard with ToyotaCare,
which provides two years or 25,000 miles,
whichever comes first, of scheduled maintenance,
as well as two years unlimited mileage
of 24-hour roadside assistance.
Corolla Hybrids battery is covered
for 10 years or 150,000 miles.
So drivers can have peace of mind over the long haul.
The 2022 Forte comes with
solid 5-year/60,000 mile basic limited,
and powertrain warranties with roadside assistance.
With Toyota's commitment to quality,
durability and reliability,
it's clear why Corolla is such a smart choice
among compact sedans.
