Kia Optima / Magentis 1.7 CRDi 141

The Kia Optima / Magentis 1.7 CRDi 141 reaches 60 mph in 9.11 s (100 km/h in 9.62 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.73 s, tripping the lights at 82.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.51 s and the eighth mile in 10.76 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 Optima / Magentis 1.7 CRDi 141

The 2016 Kia Optima / Magentis 1.7 CRDi 141 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,590 kg with 139 bhp, which works out at 88 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.51 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 8,609th quickest to 60 mph, and the 50th quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 82.2 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.

Questions

What is the Kia Optima / Magentis 1.7 CRDi 141 0-60 time?
The Kia Optima / Magentis 1.7 CRDi 141 reaches 60 mph in 9.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,609th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Optima / Magentis 1.7 CRDi 141 quarter mile time?
16.73 s at 82.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.76 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.51 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Optima / Magentis 1.7 CRDi 141 have?
139 bhp and 1,590 kg, which is 88 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 195 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Optima / Magentis 1.7 CRDi 141?
Closest here on pace: Lancia Kappa 2.4 JTD 136 (9.08 s), Jaguar X-Type 2.0D 130 (8.99 s), SEAT Exeo 1.8 TSI 120 (9.11 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Optima / Magentis 1.7 CRDi 141 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 Optima / Magentis 1.7 CRDi 141 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.
