The Kia Spectra, or Kia Cerato, is a compact car / small family car produced by the Korean automaker Kia Motors since 2000. It is currently Kia's top-selling vehicle in the United States.
First generation (2000-2004)
When introduced for the 2000 model year for Korea and the United States, it was a hatchback version of the Kia Sephia and Kia Shuma (pronounced Shü-mä´), and replaced the Avella. It was developed from Kia's previous hatchback, the Mentor (Sephia Leo). Several years later, Kia reveals the minor redesigned model. Renamed as Spectra Wing / Shuma II. It's successor is also the Kia Cerato as the Spectra / Sephia II models. The Shuma was powered 1.5 L and 1.8 L fuel injected four-cylinder petrol engines and its £8,500 starting price was £3,000 less than the approximately equivalent Ford Focus. In 2002 it replaced the Sephia and Shuma completely, though it was the same vehicle. In Russia production of first-gen Spectra is continued by Izh-Avto.- Kia Shuma/Spectra 2000-2004 performance:

Trivia
- Top Gear claimed that the Cerato "sounds like a broken musical instrument". In a Season 8 episode of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond went on a 'caravanning holiday' to understand the European idea of using caravans (which Top Gear have a reputation for destroying) for leisure. They used a Kia Cerato diesel as a tow car, due to its being chosen as "2006 Tow Car of the Year," and felt it was not up to the job of towing a caravan, as, at full throttle, it reached only 30 mph (0 km/h). Driven by May, the Cerato and its caravan managed to destroy another campsite and failed to do a 3-point turn (becoming a 37-plus-point turn), and was crashed into a bollard, lamp-post, and, very nearly, Hammond. After the caravan (and aforementioned neighboring campsite) was burnt down by a chip pan fire, the team used the Kia Cerato to tow its scorched shell away.
- The Spectra Sedan won the Canadian Car of the Year Best New Economy Car award for 2005.
- The Cerato is produced for the Chinese market by the Dongfeng Yueda Kia Automobile Company, a joint venture with Kia.
- Using legal definitions of vehicle size class, 2007 Kia Spectra5 has interior volume index of 3297L (116.4 cu.ft)http://www.kia.ca/specs.asp?lang=en&plate=spectra5, while 2007 Kia Rio5 has interior volume index of 3508L (123.9 cu.ft)http://www.kia.ca/specs.asp?lang=en&plate=rio5, which makes Kia Rio5 a bigger vehicle size class than Kia Spectra5 under North American regulations.
