The 2020 Kia Forte’s front wipers use 24-inch blades on the driver’s side and 16-inch blades on the passenger’s side; the sedan typically does not have a rear wiper.
The following article explains the standard blade sizes for the Forte, how to verify them for your exact vehicle, and tips for choosing and replacing blades with OEM or aftermarket options.
Front wiper blade sizes for the 2020 Kia Forte
To ensure you buy the right blades, the Forte’s front wipers use distinct sizes for each side. Here are the standard measurements you should look for when shopping.
- Driver-side blade: 24 inches
- Passenger-side blade: 16 inches
With the correct front blade sizes, you’ll maintain optimal visibility in most driving conditions. If you have a trim that differs from the standard sedan, or you’re replacing aging blades sooner than scheduled, always confirm the exact sizes in your owner’s manual or by checking the VIN-specific parts diagram.
Choosing blade type and replacement tips
Consider beam-style blades for quiet, all-weather performance and longer lifespan, or conventional blades if you’re looking for a lower upfront cost. Ensure compatibility with your Forte’s connector style and installation method, and verify that the blade length matches each side.
Rear wiper considerations for the Forte
The 2020 Forte sedan generally does not include a rear wiper. If your car is a different configuration or has aftermarket modifications, sizes can vary, so verify with the original equipment or dealer parts diagram.
Verification and where to buy
Always verify the exact sizes for your specific vehicle before purchasing. Use the owner’s manual, Kia’s official parts lookup, or an independent parts catalog by entering your VIN. Retailers often list 24" x 16" for the Forte front wipers and show model-year compatibility on the product page.
Summary
For a 2020 Kia Forte, replace the front wipers with 24-inch driver-side and 16-inch passenger-side blades, and expect no rear wiper on the sedan. Always confirm sizes for your exact configuration and consider blade type (beam vs conventional) and connection style when shopping.
