WHAT'S IN A NAME? SEPHIA BECOMES SPECTRA FOR 2002
For model year 2002, the Kia Sephia officially becomes the Kia Spectra sedan, a name change designed to clarify and streamline Kia's model offerings in the United States. The 2002 Spectra compact sedan will be offered in the same trim levels as before — base and LS — but now will join the sporty Spectra hatchback GS and GSX models to create a strengthened entry-level compact offering from Kia. Most notably, the new Spectra compact sedan incorporates exterior styling cues from the Spectra hatchback adding to the new "family look."
