In the modern world, where there is a huge selection of brands and types of cars, it is very difficult to give preference to some particular form. The first thing that car owners pay attention to the attention is the quality and reliability of time proven. Kia Spectra is a worthy Korean representative who has not disappointed its owners.
The start of the release started in Korea from 2002 to 2004r., In the future, the spectrum was produced in Russia to 2009. In 2011 The last small party Spectra was released. Depending on the sales region, there are different names, such as Shuma 2, Sephia 2 and Mentor 2.
The spectrum has two types of body: 5 door hatchback and sedan.
The models produced in Russia had a complete set:
- "ON THE" Basic filling, mechanical gearbox.
- "HB" Combines the set. "On" plus 4 glass electro-lifter, electric drive adjustment mirrors, steering wheel adjustment in vertical position, velor's seats, two airbags, belts, power steering, central locking, two speakers ahead and two in the rear shelf.
- "NOT" Combines the set of "HB" plus ABS.
- "NS" Produced with automatic transmission, included a set of "not" and the air conditioner was added.
- "HD" Includes a set. "NS", and also possible leather interior and hatch with electric drive, fog lights, alloy wheels, heated seats.
It is worth noting that the interior plastic, quite pleasant and soft to the touch, which is so often lacking in machines at times more expensive Kia. Over time, sites may appear that will encrypted, but usually on the go, everything is rather quiet and calm.
On dimensions the car refers to With class. The length is 4.510 m, the width is 1.720 m, the height is 1.415 m, the clearance is 15.4 cm (it is a rather small road lumen). The wheelbase is 2.560 m, and the mass is very small - 1170 kg.
According to the technical part, it is especially uncommonning a 4-cylinder engine, does not cause complaints by its work even after 300,000 km. And it will not disturb its owner and further, if you replace the filter, oil and belt according to the regulations.
The engines were also placed under a certain sales market. In America, there was a two-liter engine 138 hp In Europe, there were models 1.6 (101 hp), 1.8 (116 hp and 125 hp), 1.5 (88 and 108l.s.). All gasoline engines recommended by the AI-95 fuel, but it goes well on AI-92. Capacity tank 50l. The minus is a relatively large fuel consumption, if you take a motor 1.6l.
Consumption in the city from 11 to 13 liters of fuel at 100km. Also, arguing the car up to 3000 bonds, noise insulation does not cope and engine sound is very well heard. To bring the engine up to 3000 revolutions, it is enough to go to 5 transmission 100km / h and the noise penetrating the cabin will cause minimal discomfort.
Two types of gearboxes were installed in the sphater. The mechanical five-speed, which has proven itself from a very good side, which almost does not bring any inconveniences. But the four-step automaton (automatic transmission) is capricious, issuing errors on sensors, scaring metal rustle or gaps, slip. This trouble is very noticeable in machines released after 2007. The mistress of older models of automatic transmission, as well as the owners of mechanics, carefully operating the car, with a small probability will face this problem.
Kia Spectra's body is covered with an anti-corrosion, zinc-containing protective layer and with proper care, does not deliver special inconveniences to their masters, does not lose its appearance and it is possible to call it very hardy and high-quality. There are also problem specimens who visited the accidents that were covered with corrosion of deformed thresholds on the borders, but for the most part the owners are responsible for it, and not the manufacturer. On the part of the paint coating, small chips can appear on the front of the car, due to the speed of the speeds at speed, the benefit of it does not entail the subsequent formation of rust.
In terms of handling, it is very nice car. Dynamic, with power steering, keeps the road well both in the city and on the track.
The front lever-spring, independent and multi-type rear suspension, gently and adequately copes with irregularities on the road, falling into the pits and passing the sleeping police does not bring discomfort to the driver and passengers. The service life of the suspension consumables, primarily depends on the style of driving sitting behind the wheel and the number of pit assembled on the road. Mostly suspension is unpretentious, very easy to maintain and has a small price tag. So with her problems with the owners does not happen.
Safety
It is impossible to say that KIA spectrum is reference. Equipped with only two pillows, for the driver and passenger sitting on the front seat, it creates not the best protection. Options with a richer room, have six airbags, as well as special inflatable curtains over the windows. Crash tests, with a front and side collision, show good statistics.
Belts five, as well as the number of possible seats. With emergency braking, ABS comes to the help of the driver, as well as the braking path help reduce reinforced brake pads, evenly distributing the load.
Advantages and disadvantages of the car
Summing up, you can select several positive and negative points.
From the advantages you can list the following:
- Low cost in the secondary market.
- High reliability of all vehicles of the car, including MCPP and body.
- Easy and low cost in service.
- Soft suspension.
- Pleasant management.
- Qualitative and pleasant to the touch plastic.
- Full electric circuit.
- Spacious salon and trunk.
- Very safe car, if we talk about the basic configuration.
Disadvantages:
- Weak noise insulation.
- Low clearance.
- Consumption within the city of 11-13 liters / 100km, with 1.6 l.
- Unfigure automatic transmission models after 2007.
- Gradually obsolete design.
- The most common 1.6 l - 101l / s. Transport tax becomes more due to 1l / s.
The car, although it is not famous for a rich package, but will be surprised at the first time with your hidden "chips", such as, disabling the heating of the rear window (in order to avoid overheating), different niches for small things, a large trunk, which will be placed every time more and more and more. If before that you went to the old BMW, you will finally forget the faces of those guys from the car service, which they saw more often.
Spectra really does not require special investments in it, repair can be carried out using conventional sets of keys, without specials. Tools, therefore, with a big desire, consumables can be changed both, everything is in human, in accessibility. The spectrum is good, because it was not easy for it and competed on the market for more than 10 years.
Kia spectrum - a budget class car, is distinguished by exceptional simplicity and reliability. Judging by the reviews of numerous owners, it is perfectly controlled on asphalt, has several complete sets and will not disappoint even a sophisticated motorist. Of course, he has both minuses and pros, but the latter is an order of magnitude more, which cannot but rejoice. You can find all the necessary information you can read this article or watching the video.
Simple and reliable
In 2002, KIA began to produce unprecedented popularity to this day - Spectra. The car was made on the basis of Kia Sephia, but there are huge differences between the models. In comparison with the latter, the spectrum increased in all parameters, for example, the road clearance has become more than 10 mm, and the wheelbase has increased markedly.
The spectrum is a budget car for medium income buyers. It was he who made a possible transplant of car owners on a foreign car without significant surcharges. Manufacturers understood that users would require an optimal price / quality ratio. And they managed to satisfy all the requests of motorists.
Council. Before buying a car, read about it on the Internet.
The car refers to the sports type due to the elongated front and four front headlights. The rear headlights are made in the style of the famous brand "Jaguar". They have a round shape and characteristic stop signals. Standard equipment is minimal: central locking, airbags and glass lifts. If you want more, you will have to lay out a substantial amount.
KIA SPECTRA configuration
At the beginning of the release, the car was represented in two versions: base (GS) and complete (GSX). Basic possessed a simple set of attributes:
- Fog lights.
- Salon, upholstered cloth.
- Electric mirrors painted in the main color.
- Five steps gearbox.
- Airbags for the passenger sitting in the front seat, and the driver.
- Steering wheel with a hydraulic agent.
- Glass lift and central locking system.
The second equipment has been replenished with a heater for the appearance mirror, wheel caps, air conditioning and front fog lamps. But the third equipment that appeared only in 2005 was much more interesting for the presence of an automatic transmission.
Suite equipment (2006) acquired a fully automatic air conditioning, heated all seats, ABS and antenna.
Attention! The most secure equipment is suite. It is in it there are six airbags, inflatable curtains for windows, as well as seat belts equipped with pretensioners.
Outdoor car decoration
Kia spectrum is most like a sports car with features of the representative class. Bilateral optics in front, rear headlamps in the style of "Jaguar", as already mentioned above. Chrome lines on the radiator grille, a courageous powerful bumper with lateral fog lamps. Looking at this car, the look does not cling to anything, all the details create a sense of integrity. The design of the model is simple, does not have extra lines.
The shape of the roof is made in a dome-shaped style that, in combination with a straight line of windows, creates an interesting effect and gives the grace to the car. The trunk lines were noted by their originality thanks to the skillful work of designers.
Interior trim of car
After a tortuous appearance, you can move to the internal decorations and the first impressions are a bit disappointing. The salon looks extremely simple. The authors were guided by the Rule: "The main thing is not an appearance, but functionality." The central panel looks empty and gloomy. It does not have all the necessary devices showing the parameters of the car. There is a place for the radio, but in the basic configuration it does not go. Very inconveniently made panel for instruments, an outdated style creates additional inconvenience. From the American roots, the speed measurement system remains in miles, of course, there are both usual km / h, but the abundance of numbers creates discomfort.
Despite some lack of optimality in the arrangement of the central panel, in general, the internal assembly looks great, there is nothing superfluous, high quality plastic creates the impression that even after a few years nothing happens to him. In general, the salon is overlooking the velor, patterns are not bad patterns. The driver will feel in comfort due to the adjustable.
About the comfort of the car can be judged by side rollers, which are made of high-quality soft material. Most likely, this is done so that the driver and passengers will not forget to fasten seat belts. By the way about passengers. Sitting in the back seat can be easily located two people and they will not feel any inconvenience, but it is worth adding one to them, then their joy will immediately turn into suffering, as there will be no free space at all.
Advantages and disadvantages of KIA SPECTRA
Car enthusiasts that used this car marked the following advantages:
- A sufficient car size, which is a valuable quality for domestic car owners.
- Not bad engine behavior, expressed in the dynamic behavior of the machine on all transmissions. Especially worthily the motor shows itself at high speed.
- Excellent driver visibility.
- Ability to feel speed. The car dials 100 km / h in 11.6 seconds. The maximum engine power is 186 km / h. In addition, the big plus is the silentness of the engine. At high speeds in the cabin quietly.
- The location of the car in the budget price segment, which makes it more accessible to a wide range of consumers. The average price of the car is 300 thousand rubles, which is quite a bit in modern standards.
- Despite the great popularity among car owners, Kia Spectra has low hijacking indicators.
But it did not cost and without minuses, which also enough:
- Of course, this is a notorious instrument panel, the location of the icons on which still drives into a shiver of many connoisseurs of the convenient interface. A long time will have to be used to the control.
- The smoothness of the machine causes some complaints. Riding on asphalt does not cause difficulties and is carried out amazing, but it is worth being on a snowy road, then the difficulties of management arise.
- Passengers sitting from behind may feel serious inconvenience if there are more than two people.
- Some savings on materials that are most sensitive when looking at all the same instrument panel.
Kia Spectra is an excellent car both for and for experienced drivers. A wide selection of complete sets, many advantages, disadvantages to which you can get used to. All this creates the impression that this car has a certain workhorse, able to withstand competition on the market for a long time.
Test Drive Car Kia Spectra: Video
Kia Spectra is a five-seater sedan series "C". The release was made from 2000 to 2004 by Korean auto-corporation Kia Motors.
In the Russian Federation, since 2004, the company "Sok" on Izhevsk Automobile Plant "Izhavto" approved a project for the release of KIA spectrum sedans.

Interior
Internal Kia Spectra Sizes are considerable - its volume is 2.75 m / cube. And in it comfortable place four people. Interior without special excesses: dark plastic, velor seats and decorative walnuts.
In the cabin Kia Spectra tuning without special bellows: the instrument panel is an informative, a simple four-spin steering wheel and a non-discontinuity central console with dissimetric ventilation deflectors, round digital indicators and three climate control levers - all trivially, but unshakable and functionally.
Six airbags and curtains protecting the rear and windshield KIA SPECTRA, belts with fuses and restriction - there is no such abundance of basic equipment even in many cars categories above.
The combination of style and comfort, calm and confidence in motion, space of the cabin, economy, security and maneuverance made the car famous and in demand.

Outcome
Caia Spectrum sedan came to the change of model Kia Sephia. The spectrum is adapted for the roads of the Russian Federation and harsh, frosty winters. Repair KIA SPECTRA is relatively inexpensive, spare parts KIA Spectrum are available in service workshops.
Always keep a spare fuse kit in a car - one nominal value, do not save on their purchase.
Do not forget - the fuses are important to prevent electrical wiring and depend on their quality as the cost of repairing the machine and your life.
One of the first "ORIORIOK" - KIA SPECTRA - a foreign brand car, which from 2004 to 2011 was collected in the territory of the Russian Federation and which "propheted" to become "another nail to the coffin cover" of the domestic auto industry ... But this is all the lyrics, but it is important that Russian car enthusiasts received the opportunity, in the face of this three-tier, for acceptable money to buy a "new foreign car". For the consumer, ultimately, not "marketing wars", and on "patriotism" to infinity, it is also impossible to refer to infinity - the main thing is that I went, did not break and cost it inexpensively.
Russians, this four-year known since 2004, but its history began significantly earlier - in 1992, in South Korea, a model called Sephia, which survived several updates for his life cycle, and in 2000 it was renamed "Spectra" . In my homeland, the car was produced until 2004, at the same time its production was established on Izhevsk Automobile Plant (until 2011, the company gathered over 104 thousand such sedans).
Outside, Kia Spectra does not produce a strong impression - an eye in the appearance of the car is not for what, and its design refers directly in the 90s of the last century. But at the same time, the sedan looks neatly and very harmonious, and he will not call it - "friendly" front with a neat lighting and a swivel bumper, a classic three-volume silhouette with a long hood and a tangible "process" of the trunk, pretty feed with gripped lanterns and "plump »Bumper.
Dimensions "Spectra" fully meet the concepts of "golf" -class on the European classification: 4510 mm in length, 1415 mm in height and 1720 mm wide. Frontal and rear axles in the four-door are separated by 2560 mm, and its "belly" is separated from the road leaf with a clearance of 154 mm.
In the interior of Kia Spectra, it is also not to find designer delights - an unpleasant and boring situation reigns inside, which is slightly "reviving" well-thought-out ergonomics. The archaic, but informative "board" of the instruments, a spacious four-span steering wheel and an inconspicuous central console with asymmetric ventilation deflectors, digital watch and three "twist" of the climate system - everything is primitive, but reliably and functionally. The decoration of the car is tailored exclusively by budget materials - solid plastics and ordinary tissue.
The main advantage of the Salon "Spectra" is a solid stock of free space on each of the rows of seats. The front armors offer sediments an acceptable profile with unobtrusive lateral support and wide adjustment intervals, and the rear sofa is quite a good configuration and soft filler.
The baggage compartment of KIA SPECTRA is not impressive with its scope - in standard form, its volume is 440 liters, and with folded "2: 3" rear seats in the ratio increases to 1125 liters. Yes, and with the form of it explicit problems: the wheel arches are noticeably passionately, and the opening is squeezed by diagonal lanterns. In the underground niche, the full-size spare tire and the necessary tool are located.
Specifications. The spectrum is found with three petrol four-cylinder "atmospheric", equipped with a 16-valve Type of DOHC type and multipoint technology of fuel:
- Basic option - 1.6-liter (1591 cubic centimeter) unit, the productivity of which has 101 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 145 nm of torque at 4500 rpm.
- The "intermediate" performances "affect" a 1.8 liter engine (1793 cubic centimeters) producing 126 "stallions" at 6000 rpm and 162 Nm of maximum potential at 4900 rpm.
- The "seniors" modifications are relying 2.0-liter (1998 cubic centimeters) Motor generating 140 "mares" at 6000 rpm and 181 Nm of accessible thrust at 4000 rpm.
All the "four" guide the power in full on the wheels of the front axle using the 5-speed "manual" gearbox or a 4-speed "automaton". Depending on the version from the place to the first "hundred", the car "breaks down" after 9.7-16 seconds, the maximum recruits 175-203 km / h and "destroys" from 7.1 to 9.8 liters of fuel for every 100 km of run.
As of its basis, Kia Spectra uses a front-wheel drive "trolley", borrowed from Mazda Familia, with a transversely installed power unit. All wheels of the car are suspended by independent suspension: McPherson depreciation racks are applied in front, and the rear is a multi-dimensional architecture (in each case with steel springs and transverse stability stabilizers).
On the front axis of the three-componity, the ventilated "pancakes" of the brake system is involved, and in the rear, more simple "drums" (on versions with ABS disk devices). Korean is equipped with a steering complex of the "gear-rail" species in which a hydraulic control amplifier is mounted.
Package and prices. In Russia, the spectrum was sold from 2004 to 2011 and enjoyed stable demand. At the end of 2016, on the secondary market of our country, it is possible to purchase this sedan at a price of 120,000 rubles, while the cost of the most "fresh and packaged" modifications exceeds 350,000 rubles.
In the list of standard equipment equipment, a pair of front airbags, power amplifier, air conditioning, power windows of four doors, a tissue trim, a central dash, a regular immobilizer, audio preparation and some other items.

Review O KIA SPECTRA left: Victor Kulagin from Picalevo
From December 2007 car from December 2007, I bought in the car dealership, mechanics. Very satisfied, in the city consumption 10 liters, on the highway 6.7 liters. 3 times drove the whole family on it on the Black Sea. By March 2014, 230,000 km had already traveled, pouring the synthetic Mobile 1 (before Leil Esso, then Liquim Molly, and still stopped at Mobile, the motor works softer). The spectrum never let me down, calmly started at minus 30 if the battery is good and oil. By the body, not a single hint of corrosion, help, and as a new one. On the track, the road holds well, low center of gravity, a wide base. Spare parts like on VAZ, only quality is better, the radiator costs 1200 rubles.
Review O KIA SPECTRA 1.6 left: Alexander from the city of Moscow
In principle, the usual budget Russian foreign car.
Let's start with disadvantages: low road lumen lumen with clips on substantial irregularities. Front racks on the back work with a knock. Bad Shumka. The engine works noisily. Incomprehensible hiss of wind at the left front side glass. Not comfortable landing-disembarka from cars. In the frost half fogging the side driver's glass. Small rift belt resource. Dusty light fog. Somewhat flickering. Parking brake is not very.
Now about the pros. Not expensive spare parts. Normal handling, especially on the winter road, when on the track, porridge goes car exactly. Full text review about Kia Spectra 1.6

I gave everything from it that it was acquired for 6 years of service, ranging from new summer and winter rubber on casting and ending with light bulbs of overall lights and nozzles of windshield washer 3 kits of janitors. For 9 months of operation, with my non-calm ride, both in the city on 1 transmission up to 50 km / h and on the highway 170-190 km / h.

Review O KIA SPECTRA 1.6 left: Serega from the city of Veliky Novgorod
I had a KIA spectrum from 2007-2013. During this period, I traveled with a little. The car never led me anywhere and did not even strain the unnecessary attention to himself. Very not a whimping machine, even to sell was sad. During operation, I changed the timing belt + rollers according to the regulations, filter, candles, stabilizer racks. 85,000 km changed the ball support, the torn boot did his job. Everything is very cheap and in any hundred changes in an inexpensive.
Of the minuses are unnecessarily soft suspension, big sinks, it is necessary to be neat to keep the bumper and a little unnecessary eats gasoline for 101 horses, but it eats any of our gasoline and does not sneeze.
