The Forte allows you to choose between different driving modes, including comfort and sport, so you can customize every commute. And speaking of comfort, you’ll appreciate the Forte’s Sofino leatherette interiors and seats that feature three different heat settings as well as ventilation. The Forte’s active safety systems adjust to hazardous road conditions and emergency situations to give you even more confidence and control.
Optima
The 2019 Optima balances performance and efficiency like no other midsize car can. It’s powered by a 245-horsepower, 2-liter turbo engine capable of producing 260 pound-feet of torque and has a highway rating of 37 miles per gallon. The Optima’s spacious and quiet cabin was designed with driver comfort in mind.

Advanced safety systems like hill-start assist control and vehicle stability management automatically engage with your surroundings so you can stay focused on the road.

The 2019 Sportage isn’t just a great commuter vehicle, it’s also the perfect option for that well-deserved road trip. Equipped with a 240-horsepower, 2-liter engine, it has a highway rating of 30 miles per gallon. Its structure and extended body insulation provide a smooth and quiet ride unlike any other SUV. With its Dynamax all-wheel-drive system, the Sportage can sense changing road and weather conditions and adjust accordingly to provide proper traction.

The angled console, displays, and buttons are designed to reduce driver fatigue, even on long trips.
Whether you’re working outside of the office or on vacation, you’ll appreciate the fresh breezes provided by the Sportage’s panoramic sunroof. The smart power liftgate makes it easier to load all of your necessary equipment and favorite gear.
