The Offroad Compact You’ve Been Waiting For!

Lighter and more compact than any previous MDC model, the fully offroad Forte 9+ is here for those that want a quality compact offroad hybrid but don’t want a full size 4WD. At just over 1400kg tare weight the Forte 9+ can be towed by many full size sedans and SUV’s making it the right choice for more people than ever. A generous payload means taking your comfort items with you to glamp it up or all those essentials for adventure throughout the Aussie outdoors. Fast setup, privacy and all the features you expect along with the MDC DNA of tough construction for the worst the Australian outback can throw at you. If you didn’t think you could tow an offroad van or have room to store one, now is the time to talk to the MDC staff at your nearest showroom and find out if the Forte 9+ is your future to getting away.

STANDARD FEATURES

525W ROOFTOP SOLAR CAPACITY

Modern travel and variety of travellers brings new and greater demands on power when remote. Be it running a Starlink™ internet service or simply using your powered comfort items, power recovery is important. With 525 watts of roof mounted solar panels, the Forte 9+ punches well above its weight using available space to ensure excellent daytime recovery of batteries via the Projecta Electronics. Going this extra mile means longer off grid stays and the convenience of powering your essentials for comfort or working while travelling without the stress of being under powered.

PROJECTA ELECTRONICS

The partnership between MDC and Projecta’s quality electronics package is the key to uncomplicated, effective and reliable energy supply in this hybrid. A process of design through consultation with our valued partner ensures peak performance. Capable of a 50 amp charge rate from mains power and 25 amp charge rate from your vehicle, this partnership between Projecta and MDC brings all the benefits of ease of use and real time monitoring with accurate information through the BM500-BT Blue Tooth monitor and smart device app. The reassurance of knowing your state of charge, rate of charge or discharge, time to full and time to empty is in the palm of your hand.

LIFEPRO+^® LITHIUM BATTERY

The LiFePRO+^® Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery range provides unparalleled performance, durability, and off-grid capabilities within the lithium deep cycle battery technology space.

Equipped with an internal battery management system (BMS) that continually monitors and optimises its prismatic cells during use, the LiFePRO+^® internal BMS also protects the battery from fault conditions such as overcharge, over-discharge and short circuit.

With the 200AH LiFePRO+^® LiFePO4 battery rated to an impressive maximum discharge current of up to 200A, you are ready for absolutely any offroad adventure.

The cleverly designed pop-up roof makes for ease of set up and a 270° free-standing awning extends the usable area and protects the outside kitchen area. Attach the full annex to the 270° awning and you’ve nearly tripled your living space in a matter of minutes.
