Design

Different by design.

With bold lines and striking features, the Forte5 proves that utility doesn't come at the cost of great design. Details like the signature grille and available 18-inch machine-finish alloy wheels offer a refined appearance, while features like the available power folding sideview mirrors prove that practicality can be a thing of beauty.

Design

Bright ideas.

Some of the best examples of form meeting function in the Forte5 are also the brightest. The available High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights help cut through the night with bright and crisp lighting. And the available LED positioning and LED lightbar taillights each add to its distinctive style.

Design

You’re welcome.

Thoughtful touches are the hallmark of great design. The available Welcome Lighting System illuminates the ground beneath the front door, making getting in and out easier after dark. A little thing that makes a big difference.

Comfort

We made it personal.

It only takes a moment behind the wheel to see that the Forte5 is something special. From an available power adjustable driver's seat that easily adjusts to the perfect position, to a cabin that surrounds you with fit and finish, the Forte5 is comfort made personal. Build yours now.
