The 2018 Forte sedan carries over into the new model year largely unchanged, save for some package enhancements. Cruise control is now standard on the LX (automatic transmission only) and the LX Popular Package, which now includes UVO3, allowing Forte customers to use Android AutoTM1, Apple CarPlayTM2 on their compatible devices and enjoy smartphone projected navigation. The LX Popular Plus Package includes the above equipment and adds a new alloy wheel design, LED taillights and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The S adds a new 16-inch alloy wheel and the Technology Package now includes a sunroof, while last year’s Premium Package has been discontinued. The EX sedan now comes standard with Advanced Driver Assistance Features such as Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist.
