Kia Optima / Magentis 2.4 Hybrid 206

The Kia Optima / Magentis 2.4 Hybrid 206 reaches 60 mph in 8.37 s (100 km/h in 8.91 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.48 s, tripping the lights at 84.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.58 s and the eighth mile in 10.60 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 2.4 Hybrid 206

The 2010 Kia Optima / Magentis 2.4 Hybrid 206 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,586 kg with 164 bhp, which works out at 103 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.58 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 7,235th quickest to 60 mph, and the 32nd 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 2.4 Hybrid 206 0-60 time?
The Kia Optima / Magentis 2.4 Hybrid 206 reaches 60 mph in 8.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,235th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.4 Hybrid 206 quarter mile time?
16.48 s at 84.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.60 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.58 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.4 Hybrid 206 have?
164 bhp and 1,586 kg, which is 103 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 219 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.4 Hybrid 206?
Closest here on pace: SEAT Exeo 1.8 TSI 150 (8.41 s), Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.0D 150 (8.35 s), Citroen C6 2.7 HDiF 204 (8.38 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Optima / Magentis 2.4 Hybrid 206 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 2.4 Hybrid 206 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.
