Kia Carens 1.8 130

The Kia Carens 1.8 130 reaches 60 mph in 10.31 s (100 km/h in 10.90 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.11 s, tripping the lights at 80.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.21 s and the eighth mile in 11.93 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Carens 1.8 130

The 2000 Kia Carens 1.8 130 is a front-drive naturally aspirated MPV of 1,290 kg with 129 bhp, which works out at 100 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.21 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 10,650th quickest to 60 mph, and the 107th quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 80.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Kia Carens 1.8 130 0-60 time?
The Kia Carens 1.8 130 reaches 60 mph in 10.31 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,650th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Carens 1.8 130 quarter mile time?
18.11 s at 80.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.93 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.21 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Carens 1.8 130 have?
129 bhp and 1,290 kg, which is 100 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 172 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Carens 1.8 130?
Closest here on pace: Toyota Yaris Verso 1.5 VVTi 106 (2003) (10.28 s), Citroen Berlingo 1.6i 108 (10.18 s), Daihatsu Valera 1.5 90 (10.29 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Carens 1.8 130 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Kia Carens 1.8 130 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
