Kia has moved the Spectra5 compact wagon upscale, and the styling reflects its new position. A sleek exterior and quality interior materials make the Spectra5 a good choice for value-conscious customers. The rear hatch and raised roofline provide additional cargo space compared to the sedan. A standard 2.0L I-4 cranks out 138-bhp and can be coupled to a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. The Spectra5 is well equipped with standard air conditioning, power windows/locks, side-curtain airbags, and 16-inch alloy wheels.

What Changed:

New lighter-weight 4-speed automatic.
