2015 Kia Forte Safety Rating

NHTSA gives the 2015 Kia Forte 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 21 comparable 2015 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class. That places it at the bottom of its tested class. A five-star overall is common in recent model years, so it separates a vehicle from its rivals less than it once did.

NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.

NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 10.3% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

Across the 9 model years we hold for the Kia Forte, the figure ranges from 4-star (2019) to 5-star (2015), so the 2015 car is best read against its own model history rather than in isolation.
