2015 Forte5 Offers European-inspired Design and Five-door Functionality

• Forte5 combines European-influenced style with the practicality of a hatchback

• Improved packaging and broad array of technology enhances the value of the stylish five-door

IRVINE, Calif., May 29, 2014 – Carrying over in the 2015 model year, the Forte5's eye-catching European-inspired hatchback design continues to deliver an abundance of features in the practical hatchback version of its award-winning sedan sibling. The Forte5 is offered in two trim levels, EX and SX, with two distinct engine choices. The Forte5 packs a punch, with the EX's 2.0-liter GDI four-cylinder engine and the SX's powerful 1.6-liter GDI turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The SX comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission and offers an available 6-speed automatic featuring steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

Additionally, both EX and SX trim levels offer optional HID headlights, navigation system with HD Radio™6, sunroof, heated steering wheel, 10-way adjustable power driver's seat, heated front seats and ventilated driver's seat, heated rear outboard seats, leather-trimmed seating surfaces, SmartKey with push-button start, electric chromatic rearview mirror and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Conceived under the watchful eye of Kia's global chief of design Peter Schreyer, the Forte5's sophisticated hatchback profile, large wheels and aggressive posture give it a distinctly European appearance that speaks to its performance intentions. The chiseled body commands attention and continues Kia's tradition as a design leader in the industry.
