The all-new Forte 2-door Koup ratchets the category up to a whole new level with leading-edge design and a series of segment firsts and bests. Like class-leading standard horsepower. Class-leading array of standard technology features, including Sirius satellite radio, MP3 jack and Bluetooth. Standard safety features lead the category as well, with a five-star crash safety rating, front wheel antilock brake system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), traction control system (TCS); 6 airbags (dual front advanced, front seat-mounted side, and full-length side curtain), and active front headrests. The Forte Koup is not a sports car, but has a decidedly sporty edge to it. It combines speed, fuel efficiency, and fun in a way never before seen in this category. Forte means strong. With its class-leading collection of firsts and bests, the name fits it well.
