The 2013 Kia Forte 5 received an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars from NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program for US-market vehicles. The sedan earned 4 stars in frontal crash, side crash, and rollover tests. However, it scored 2 stars in the side pole crash test, which measures protection in crashes involving narrow objects like utility poles. NHTSA applies these ratings across model years until a vehicle redesign occurs, so this rating covers the 2013 Forte 5.
