The 2009 Kia Spectra5.
Amid a steady uptick in gasoline prices and during a time when fuel economy is top-of-mind for consumers, the Kia Spectra and Spectra5 are standouts, leading the pack with high marks for their thrifty fuel-sipping ability combined with high style and class-leading safety features. Adding to Spectra and Spectra5's appeal, the line is recognized by The Car Book as a "Best Bet" in the Compact category and the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) for five-star frontal crash safety rating in 2008. Spectra5 also is recognized by U.S. News & World Report's Best Cars and Trucks for being an affordable compact wagon. In 2007, the Spectra model line received two distinctions from Edmunds.com ("Consumers Most-Wanted – Wagons under $25,000" and "Top 10 Cars under $15,000"). These accolades paired with the Spectra sedan and five-door's style, outstanding safety features and exceptional value are sure to continue to impress consumers in 2009.
Following Kia Motors' core philosophies of providing value, safety, warranty and fun to the driving experience, the Spectra line-up is available in several trim levels (LX, EX, and SX four-door; SX five-door) and offers a host of standard amenities to appeal to a wide range of consumers.
