The 2005 Kia Spectra is a compact sedan that was offered by the South Korean automaker Kia Motors from 2004 to 2009. It represents the second generation of the Spectra, succeeding the first generation model launched in 2000. The 2005 model year brought about significant changes to the Spectra, featuring a new platform, a more modern and refined design, and improved safety features. Aiming to compete in the fiercely competitive compact car segment, the Spectra was marketed as a stylish and affordable option for budget-conscious buyers. It offered a comfortable interior space, a decent amount of cargo room, and decent fuel efficiency. The 2005 Spectra was available in two trim levels: the base LX and the higher-end EX, each offering different standard features and optional packages.

Under the hood, the 2005 Kia Spectra offered a single engine option: a 1.6-liter inline-four engine producing 107 horsepower. This engine was paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. While not the most powerful engine in its class, it provided adequate performance for daily driving and offered decent fuel economy. Safety features on the 2005 Spectra included dual front airbags, front side airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and a tire pressure monitoring system. Despite its affordability and decent features, the 2005 Kia Spectra faced criticism for its somewhat simplistic interior and lack of advanced technology features. However, it remained a popular choice for buyers seeking a reliable and practical compact car with a decent value proposition. Overall, the 2005 Kia Spectra was a solid contender in the compact sedan segment, offering a blend of affordability, style, and practicality.
