Aside from just adding another door on the back, KIA has used the 5 door as an excuse to enhance other aspects of the Forte thus instilling even more value. The 5-door sits just a little bit lower and firmly set between its rollers. Forte five-door carries with it all the amenities of the Forte line and introduces a new front grille, alloy wheels, lower valence design, center console, paddle shifters, push-button start and navigation in addition to the ostensible fifth door for a distinct appearance and intentional practicality. Forte five-door is available with two efficient engines – 2.0-liter or 2.4-liter – and a new six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
