The 2009 Kia Spectra and Spectra5 are largely unchanged. This compact car slots above Kia's subcompact Rio and uses a basic design from the 2001-2006 Elantra from Kia's corporate parent, Hyundai. Spectra comes as a sedan in LX, EX, and sporty SX trims. It also offers a 4-door hatchback called the Spectra5. All models have a 138-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. A manual or automatic transmission is available on all models. Available safety features include ABS, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. All but LX include 4-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, and power windows, locks and heated mirrors. SX and Spectra5 have a sport suspension. A sunroof is newly available on the EX.
