The Forte5 has heated side view mirrors and LED front and rear lights, plus the side view mirrors have smaller lights to repeat your turn signals. The solar glass around the outside also provides added protection against intense sunlight.

The EX trim offers 16-inch alloy wheels and body-coloured side view mirrors and door handles to keep the distinct outside colour consistent.

The vehicle offers 23.2 cubic feet of cargo room when the seats are up, but you can fold the seats down in moments to expand that space. The hatchback-inspired trunk design lets you access all parts of your trunk with ease.

The inside has 42.2 inches of legroom in the front row and 35.6 inches in the rear. These measurements are consistent among all trims.
