Kia Optima Sportswagon 1.6 CRDi 136

The Kia Optima Sportswagon 1.6 CRDi 136 reaches 60 mph in 10.19 s (100 km/h in 10.79 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.38 s, tripping the lights at 78.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.61 s and the eighth mile in 11.16 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 Sportswagon 1.6 CRDi 136

The 2018 Kia Optima Sportswagon 1.6 CRDi 136 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,617 kg with 134 bhp, which works out at 83 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.61 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 10,475th quickest to 60 mph, and the 100th quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 78.9 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 Sportswagon 1.6 CRDi 136 0-60 time?
The Kia Optima Sportswagon 1.6 CRDi 136 reaches 60 mph in 10.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,475th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Optima Sportswagon 1.6 CRDi 136 quarter mile time?
17.38 s at 78.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.16 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.61 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Optima Sportswagon 1.6 CRDi 136 have?
134 bhp and 1,617 kg, which is 83 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 Sportswagon 1.6 CRDi 136?
Closest here on pace: Citroen XM 2.5 Turbo D 131 (1997) (10.18 s), Vauxhall Signum 1.9 CDTi 120 (10.18 s), Toyota Avensis 2.0 D4-D 116 (10.17 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Optima Sportswagon 1.6 CRDi 136 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 Sportswagon 1.6 CRDi 136 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
