First generation[edit]

The Kia Spectra was introduced as a front-engine, front-wheel-drive subcompact sedan. It was designed for affordability and versatility to make the most of the rather small amount of space it had to offer.

It was equipped with a 125 horsepower 1.8l DOHC four cylinder engine paired to either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

This generation came in three variants: G, GX, and GX-S. It offered a quiet interior, smoooth ride quality, and high-end materials for its price. Despite having good sales, this generation only lasted for two years before undergoing a redesign.

In 2001 the Spectra received a slight facelift regarding the aesthetics of the vehicle.

Second generation[edit]

The second generation Kia Spectra, introduced in 2005, expanded upon its predecessor by updating the body styling, adding more power, and improving on functionality.

The engine used during this generation was Hyundai's 2.4l DOHC four cylinder engine paired to a CVT, producing 138 horsepower and 136 lb-ft of torque, up from the previous 125 horsepower and 108 lb-ft of torque. The transmission options remained the same.

Like the previous years, it offered three trim levels but with different lettering: EX, LX, and SX. The EX was the most basic, the LX added several luxury options, and the SX contributed to more sporty styling.
