FOR THE 2017 FORTE1

THE FORTE

Choose this one if you like to look sharp pulling up to the valet;

if you’re a “real trunk” sort of person; and if modern,

high-tech, and 4-door are all adjectives you love in a car.

THE FORTE5

Same modern vibe and tech as its sedan counterpart, with the added

sportiness and versatility of a 5th door. Perfect if you like easy access

to your stuff and have a spontaneous, “throw it in and go” lifestyle.
