The 2002 Kia Spectra is a compact sedan that was produced by the South Korean automaker Kia Motors from 2000 to 2004. The first generation Spectra was a rebadged version of the Kia Sephia, which was itself based on the Mitsubishi Lancer. However, the 2002 model year saw a significant mid-cycle refresh that brought a new front fascia, taillights, and interior styling. The Spectra was offered with a choice of two engines: a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine producing 105 horsepower and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 130 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. The Spectra was known for its affordability, practicality, and fuel efficiency, making it a popular choice for budget-minded buyers. The 2002 Kia Spectra featured a spacious cabin with a comfortable ride. The interior was well-appointed for the price point, with comfortable seats and a user-friendly dashboard layout. Standard features included power windows, power locks, air conditioning, and a CD player. Optional features included a sunroof, cruise control, and alloy wheels. The Spectra's compact size made it easy to maneuver in city traffic, and its relatively high ground clearance provided good visibility and handling on unpaved roads. While the Spectra's performance was not particularly noteworthy, its fuel economy was a strong selling point. The 1.6-liter engine achieved an estimated 27 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, while the 2.0-liter engine achieved 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Overall, the 2002 Kia Spectra was a reliable and practical compact sedan that offered a good value for its price.
