KIA Spectra

Despite the fact that many years have passed since the beginning of production, the appearance of the KIA Spectra does not look outdated, emphasizing, rather, independence from changeable automotive fashion and giving it solidity, in addition, in size, it is a typical D-class.



The appearance of most modern Koreancars quite cosmopolitan and sometimes it is difficult to determine the nationality, but the appearance of KIA Spectra with its head gives out its Korean origin.




Interior does not shine with special refinements, which is understandable for a car of this price category. But velor and gray plastic do not seem quite cheap, but allAneli and elements are fitted qualitatively, with even gaps. The car in the basic configuration is equipped with an electric package and air conditioning.



Controls are located thoughtful and convenient. Informative but no frills instrument paneland podrulevye switches speak of a direct relationship with the Mazda 323. Interior dimensions of the cabin 1870 x 1410 x 1160 mm - quite a worthy indicator.



Inside the KIA Spectra with sufficient comfort can accommodate the driver and four tall passengers, and for the feet of the average passenger in the back seat enough space - there is no central tunnel and protruding boxes.



Landing may seem somewhat unusual -The seats are located low and the backs are slightly flipped - but, nevertheless, quite comfortable. The front seats are externally endowed with pronounced lateral support, but the rollers are too soft and perform their function purely nominally.



Rudder KIA Spectra adjustable only in height and in the lowestposition, depending on the driver's height, may overlap some of the instrument readings, and the driver's seat is not equipped with a vertical adjustment function.







The back of the rear seat is laid out in proportion2: 1, opening access from the cabin in a fairly spacious trunk, a volume of 440 liters. Good sound insulation of the car interior, unfortunately, can not boast - the sound of the engine at high speeds and wind at high speed is audible clearly.



KIA Spectra, complete four-cylinder sixteen-valve engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 101 hp. A car with such an assembly is too quick not to seem, but for a family sedan it is enough, especially if paired with it, use a mechanical five-speed gearbox.



Automatic four-speed gearbox the most that neither is simple and apart from standardmodes has still a fixed first and second gear. The automatic gearbox operates smoothly and smoothly and does not bother with excessive thoughtfulness when switching.



With a sharp depression of the accelerator pedal, the boxgoes to a lower gear with noticeable noise and a slight push, but this is a characteristic feature of most four-stage "automatic".



Suspension KIA Spectra is completely independent, ahead ofand on the rear on one longitudinal and two transverse links, is equipped with McPherson struts and stabilizers of lateral stability. Sufficiently soft and comfortable, it extinguishes small irregularities well, but on large waves it tends to swing and break through to the limiter.



Hydraulic brakes, equipped with a vacuum amplifier, in front - disc ventilated, rear - drum, provide the car with a complete stop at a speed of 100 km / h through 57 meters.



Rack, power-assisted steeringcontrol has sufficient sensitivity and a strong return force when exiting from the turn. When cornering at high speed, the KIA Spectra has some understeer, which is characteristic, however, for most front-wheel drive cars, which is easily compensated for by a slight steering movement.
