The KIA Spectra, launched in 2000, was a compact car marketed by the South Korean automaker, KIA Motors, for the North American market. The 2003 model year, which this workshop service repair manual covers, saw a few key improvements. These included a new engine option, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with variable valve timing, which boosted performance and efficiency. The interior received a refresh with updated upholstery and trim, and safety was enhanced with standard front and side airbags. The Spectra, built on the same platform as the Hyundai Elantra, was known for its affordability and practicality, offering spacious seating for five and a decent cargo area. The 2003 Kia Spectra, available in both sedan and hatchback body styles, was powered by either a 1.6-liter or 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, mated to a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. It featured comfortable seating, good visibility, and a user-friendly dashboard layout. The car was praised for its fuel economy, reliability, and value for money.
