2007 Kia Spectra
Kia is known for producing vehicles that are priced below its competitors
but not built below its competitors. The 2007 Kia Spectra continues this
tradition. It is a subcompact car with a price tag its rivals cannot best.
Answering the consumer's need for versatility, it can be purchased as
either a 4-door sedan or a 4-door hatchback. Both versions accommodate
five passengers without effort. All Spectras contain a 4-cylinder engine,
and can be fitted with either manual or automatic transmission.
Available Models
The 2007 Kia Spectra sedans are available in the Base and the LS models,
while the hatchbacks are available in the GS and the GSX models. All four
models are available with 5-speed manual transmission or 4-speed automatic
transmission.
Interior Features
The standard interior features of the 2007 Kia Spectra sedans and hatchbacks
include a split folding rear seat, a digital clock, front bucket seats,
and power steering. Other standard features on all Kia Spectra models
are driver seat height and lumbar adjustment, an AM/FM/CD player, map
lights, and cloth upholstery. The LS and GSX models also come equipped
with a tilt steering wheel, power door locks, mirrors, and windows, and
air conditioning. Promoting its upscale image, the GSX model has its steering
wheel wrapped with leather.
Options packages offer the Base model and the GS model air conditioning,
and a 6-disc CD changer. The LS and the GSX models have the option of
the 6-disc CD changer as well, along with remote keyless entry. A handy
new feature this year is an illuminated ignition switch.
Exterior Features
Automatic-off headlights are standard on all 2007 Kia Spectra models.
The GSX model also comes equipped with alloy wheels, and a rear spoiler.
The rear spoiler is an option on the Base and the LS models, while the
LS can also be fitted with alloy wheels.
Performance
The 2007 Kia Spectra contains a 1.8-litre dohc 4-cylinder engine that
provides numbers of 124 hp at 6000 rpm, and 119 lbs-ft of torque at 4900
rpm. Transmission in all models can be either 5-speed manual transmission
or 4-speed automatic transmission. The fuel ratings on the Spectras are
24/32 mpg (city/highway) for models operating on manual transmission,
and 22/30 mpg for models operating on automatic transmission.
Safety and Security
Dual front airbags are offered as a standard safety feature on all the
Kia Spectra models. The LS model and the GSX model also come equipped
with fog lights.

2007 Kia Spectra
 For
2007 the Spectra line-up features four different selections to suit
a variety of tastes and budgets: the Spectra base and Spectra LS
four-door sedans and the Spectra GS and Spectra GSX five-door hatchbacks.
On
the outside, all 2007 Spectras offer a body side molding design
that was previously an option on the base four-door and GS five-door,
protecting the vehicles from the hard knocks of life (and parking
lots). The GS and GSX five-door models add a rear wiper/washer with
intermittent setting to their list of standard equipment.
Significant
interior changes have been made to provide more comfort and convenience
for the driver and passengers. For 2007, all four trim levels of
the Spectra come standard with an AM/FM/CD player, previously an
option only on the LS and GSX. All models also receive the addition
of sound insulation foam to the roof and floor, providing a quieter
cabin.
Like
all Kia models, the Spectra is covered by Kia's comprehensive warranty
program, which offers unprecedented consumer protection. Included
in the package are a 10-year or 100,000-mile limited powertrain
warranty, a five-year or 60,000-mile limited basic warranty and
a five-year or 100,000-mile anti-perforation warranty. A five-year/unlimited
mileage roadside assistance plan is also part of the comprehensive
coverage program.
