2018 Kia Forte5 - Lane-Keeping Assist System

Made for Staying on Track

Drift outside your lane without signaling, and the available lane-keeping assist system will provide you with visual and audible alerts. If there’s no correction, it will automatically steer you back into your lane.¹

2018 Kia Forte5 - Apple CarPlay© and Android Auto™

Made for Staying Connected

The hands-free Apple CarPlay^{® 6} and Android Auto^{™ 7} systems allow you to play your music, navigate traffic, check your messages and access other favourite apps all with the sound of your voice.²

Made for Driving Your Way

Customize your drive. Available Drive Mode Select adjusts power, steering and the transmission to adapt to the ever-changing conditions around you. Normal mode is for day-to-day driving, Eco prioritizes fuel efficiency and Sport provides a more aggressive, performance-focused drive.

Made for Better Control

The world is unpredictable. The Forte5 reacts accordingly with active safety features like vehicle stability management, hill assist control, electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes. They all come standard with the 2018 Forte5.

Feature Highlights

LCD Instrumentation
The available 4.2-inch LCD instrument cluster keeps you in the know about your speed, fuel amount and other key vehicle information at a glance.
Rearview Camera
The rearview camera provides extra visibility for those hard-to-see areas, making parking easier than ever before.¹
Blind Spot Detection
Helping you stay aware of your surroundings, available blind spot detection will give you a visual and audible alert if another vehicle is detected.¹
Power Sunroof
Open up the cabin, enjoy the weather or just take in the view with the available power sunroof.
High-Strength Steel
Every Forte5 is built on a strong foundation. Its uniquely engineered body combines various high-tensile strength steel alloys. The body structure not only helps provide excellent crash protection, it also contributes to better driving dynamics and a remarkably quiet ride.
Airbags
We’ve got your back — and your front and sides. The 2018 Forte5 protects you and your passengers with advanced dual front, side impact and curtain airbags with finely tuned sensors for the best possible performance. Combined, they help protect you in collisions big and small.
