The Spectra sedan received a mild facelift for the 2007 model year, with a more rounded trunk and reshaped tail lamps, among other changes.

It was fitted with a slightly more powerful 138-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, paired once more with either a standard five-speed manual gearbox or an optional four-speed automatic transmission. It shared underpinnings with the contemporary Hyundai Elantra. The second generation of Spectra, from 2004 through 2009, included both body styles from the start. The 2000-2003 Spectra models were offered in three trim levels: a base S, a mid-range GS, and the top-of-the-line GSX. The front-wheel-drive model used a 124-hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard and an optional four-speed automatic transmission available as well. The two models continued in parallel until 2002, when both cars were given the Spectra name for two final years. The Spectra name was first used in 2000 for a new five-door hatchback model of the Sephia four-door sedan launched in 1997, which remained on sale. The Spectra was then sold in North America as both a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback known as the Spectra5. The Spectra itself was first a hatchback version of the Sephia sedan, with the name replacing the Sephia label entirely two years later. The compact Kia Spectra model, sold between 20, was replaced by the more modern and stylish Kia Forte for the 2010 model year.
