Additional Packages
There are no available packages for the Forte LX, only a vast selection of standalone accessories which, even if you selected them all, wouldn't get it to the same level as superior trims.
The Forte S has access to an S Technology Plus Package which costs an additional $1,700 and equips the S with autonomous emergency braking, forward-collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, blind-spot detection, lane change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. It also adds a power sunroof, leather-wrapped gear shift knob, and includes a smart key with push-button start and immobilizer.
Available for the Forte EX model is an EX Premium Plus Package which for $3,900 upgrades the EX with a power sunroof, UVO with Voice-Command Navigation System, SiriusXM Traffic, and HD radio, auto-dimming rearview mirror, ventilated front seats, ten-way power-adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar support and integrated memory system, and a leather-wrapped gear shift knob. This package also outfits the EX with autonomous emergency braking, forward-collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, high-intensity discharge, projector-beam headlights, and dynamic bending lights.
