The Spectra is one of Kia's most popular models. The
vehicle's extensive features and competitive price only
serve to enhance its popularity. The 2005 Spectra has
been redesigned and engineered to provide even
greater value.
While the new Spectra has retained many of its
popular features, important changes made to this new
model, as standard equipment or options, include:
• 2.0 liter, Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT)
DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine
• Tier 2 Bin 4 vehicle, Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle
(ULEV), and Super-Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle
(SULEV) standards
• New optional HVAC air filter for interior air quality
• SRS safety with the addition of occupant present
detection system, DAB and PAB dual squibs, FIS
and 4 SIS, and front seat location sensor.
• Dash fuse box incorporating the ETACS
PURPOSE
The Spectra is available as a four-door sedan and
five-door hatchback. The Spectra sedan comes in two
trim levels (LX and EX) and the 5-door is only offered
in the SX trim level.
The Spectra continues to be an important vehicle in
the Kia line-up. It is positioned above the entry-level
Rio to offer customers a vehicle to move up.
