Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVL 163

The Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVL 163 reaches 60 mph in 8.55 s (100 km/h in 9.03 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.66 s, tripping the lights at 84.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.66 s and the eighth mile in 10.81 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 2.0 CVVL 163

The 2016 Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVL 163 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,530 kg with 161 bhp, which works out at 105 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.66 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 7,583rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 36th quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 84.6 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 2.0 CVVL 163 0-60 time?
The Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVL 163 reaches 60 mph in 8.55 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,583rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVL 163 quarter mile time?
16.66 s at 84.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.81 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.66 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVL 163 have?
161 bhp and 1,530 kg, which is 105 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 209 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVL 163?
Closest here on pace: Volvo C70 D5 180 (8.56 s), Volvo S60 2.4 170 (2008) (8.54 s), Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 2.0 CDTI 160 (8.60 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVL 163 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 2.0 CVVL 163 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.
