The Spectra5 has an assertive front end highlighted by a black mesh grille and black-out headlights, a deeper and more aggressive front spoiler, fog lights, and rear valance and spoiler. Incorporating continuously variable valve timing and multi-port fuel injection, the Spectra5 is powered by a new 2.0-liter DOHC engine that produces 138 horsepower and 135 lb-ft of torque.
The Spectra5 has class-leading safety equipment and adds a new sport-tuned, four-wheel independent suspension and 16-inch wheels and tires for better steering response and turn-in, a strut tower bar for a stiffer chassis and better handling, and design touches such as a rear spoiler, fog lights, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob with perforated leather, sport fabric on the seats and door panels and metal-finish trim throughout the interior, including metal pedals.
A new, sport-tuned four-wheel independent suspension provides the Spectra5 with an athletic stance, while the addition of a strut tower bar provides additional torsional rigidity for better handling.
Available in one trim level, the Spectra5 offers an impressive list of standard features including air conditioning, AM/FM/CD audio system with six speakers, power windows, power door locks with remote keyless entry, power heated outside mirrors, rear wiper/washer, and a height-adjustable steering column.
