Exterior
A perfect balance of fun and function

Everyday, you will find new possibilities to explore in a sedan that is built to go beyond.
Interior
Modern simplicity, practical luxury
Simplicity is the key to the luxuriousness of the Forte dashboard. The look is clean throughout, with driver information appearing sparingly on the instrument cluster and floating center monitor. Metallic trim gives a sporty yet sophisticated touch, while sleek lines connect the turbine-inspired air vents at the side.
Performance
Daily performance powered by ingenuity
Enjoy spirited and responsive performance with the lively 1.6-liter T-GDI and D-CVVT engines. Gasoline engines feature Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT) and GT-exclusive Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection (T-GDI)
Performance
6-speed automatic transmission (EX and LX)

Safety
Phenomenal rigidity with smarter materials
The Forte boasts substantial torsional rigidity thanks to strategic application of hot-stamped steel and Advanced High-Strength Steel. The body resists twisting forces, so jolts are absorbed with precision. In the event of a collision, impact forces are managed in ways that better protect the occupant space.
