2018 Kia Forte5 Trim Level Comparison
Compact hatchback cars put the “fun” into functionality. They give you a ride that is small and nimble with the kind of handling and agility that makes taking corners, acceleration and passing other vehicles a treat. With the rear 5th door, you can bring even more along with you on your adventures than their sedan counterparts allow. Additionally, your passengers will enjoy being able to reach cargo and the added headroom that comes along with the body style.
For 2018, the Kia Forte5 enjoys small, but welcome, changes which serve to add further value to what is already among the best values in the compact class. Base trimmed LX models who opt for the Popular Package will now enjoy a new 16” alloy wheel design, LED taillights and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Top-trimmed, SX, models now include the Orange Color Pack as a standard feature.
