Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVT 177

The Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVT 177 reaches 60 mph in 8.48 s (100 km/h in 9.02 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.53 s, tripping the lights at 83.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.62 s and the eighth mile in 10.65 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 CVVT 177

The 2010 Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVT 177 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,662 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 89 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.62 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 7,444th quickest to 60 mph, and the 35th quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 83.6 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 CVVT 177 0-60 time?
The Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVT 177 reaches 60 mph in 8.48 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,444th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVT 177 quarter mile time?
16.53 s at 83.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.65 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.62 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVT 177 have?
148 bhp and 1,662 kg, which is 89 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVT 177?
Closest here on pace: Volvo V60 2.0 D4 163 (2014) (8.45 s), Ford Mondeo Sedan 2.0 TDCi 130 (2005) (8.50 s), Alfa Romeo 159 1.9 JTDm 16V 150 (8.49 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 CVVT 177 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 CVVT 177 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.
