The 2017 Forte5 is a stylish upgrade to the previous models. While those previous models are already popular among smaller families, the 2017 Kia Forte5 has tons of new features that families will love. The Forte5 is a standout in the hatchback market, and we’ve listed 5 reasons why your family with love the new Kia Forte5.
Blind Spot Monitoring With Lane Assist
This feature has been attracting a ton of buzz in the auto industry, and for good reason. Blind spot monitoring with lane assist is the newest “must have” in vehicle safety, and it makes driving in both the city and on the highway far easier and safer, especially if you’re hauling your family around. This integrated system warns drivers if the car begins to drive out of its lane without the turn signals on, which is remarkably handy, especially if you’re distracted by little ones or you’re tired from a long trip.
Plus, this safety feature also alerts drivers of traffic in their blind spot with both lights and, if the turn signal is activated, beeping.
Sporty and Practical
The Forte5 is the sportier sister of the Forte sedan, both in performance and design. The vehicle is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four cylinder engine that gets more-than-respectable pickup and will get your family from point A to point B with plenty of style and speed. This engine is hooked up to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission that will provide a smooth yet powerful drive.
While there is a sportier tilt to the Forte5, it still maintains plenty of practical aspects, such as its spacious back seats and plenty of cargo room.
Infotainment Replication
Using either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, the Forte5 replicates your phone’s capabilities on its 7-inch infotainment touch screen. This allows drivers to send and receive text messages and phone calls hands-free, reducing driver distraction. This is very important for parents who need to keep in touch with their families, but also not put themselves or their passengers in danger. It’s also popular for parents who are teaching their teens to drive, since teens are notoriously easily distracted by calls and texts.
Quiet Interior
A whisper-quiet interior makes the Forte5 the ideal choice for parents with little ones who like to sleep on long and short car rides. With special engineering and meticulously chosen materials, the Forte5 is an impressively quiet car, whether you’re just taking a cruise around the block or speeding down the highway.
Small Touches
There is a multitude of small touches that make the Forte5 the ultimate small-family vehicle. Car seats are easily fit into the back seat area, thanks to larger doors, and the cargo hold has more than enough room for sports equipment or luggage. The interior mats are a snap to clean down, and the stylish interior is fun for kids and adults alike. Hands-free operation and access make it easy to get in and out of the car without juggling keys as well as kids and bags.
These are just 5 reasons why your family will love the new 2017 Kia Forte5.
