The LX and EX trims both feature these same brake sizes (11.0 inch front and 10.3 inch rear).

The rear brakes utilize solid discs.

Electronic Parking Brake (EPB):

The EPB replaces the traditional handbrake and can be engaged with a button.

Auto Hold:

This feature, activated via a switch, automatically engages the brakes when the vehicle comes to a stop, even with your foot off the pedal.

Brake Pads:

Kia Forte brake pads typically last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, with replacement frequency depending on driving habits.
