Kia Spectra Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2004–2011) — First Generation Restyling 2
The Kia Spectra First Generation Restyling 2 sedan is a practical four-door with gasoline engines and front-wheel drive. You can match this generation to commuting or longer trips by choosing the powertrain and equipment that suit how you drive.
A Kia Spectra engine here is gasoline, driving the front wheels through either a manual or automatic transmission. Choose 1.6 MT if you prefer shifting yourself; 1.6 AT and 1.8 AT sedans use automatics for simpler commuting. These drivetrain examples show typical pairings, not the full lineup.
Kia Spectra trim levels sit alongside the mechanical spec, so you pick an engine and gearbox first, then the equipment pack. The 1.6 AT sedan, for example, can be specified with a Premium equipment configuration. That pairing keeps the same gasoline automatic and front-wheel drive, with a different cabin specification.
