Federal crash test ratings for the 2013 Kia Forte 5.
The 2013 Kia Forte 5 received a four-star overall rating from NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program for US-market vehicles. The sedan earned four stars in frontal crash, side crash, and rollover protection. However, it scored two stars in the side pole crash test, which measures protection in collisions with narrow objects like utility poles. NHTSA applies these ratings across model years until a vehicle redesign occurs, so this assessment covers the Forte 5 during its rated period.
