Kia Optima Sportswagon 2.0 GDI PHEV 202

The Kia Optima Sportswagon 2.0 GDI PHEV 202 reaches 60 mph in 9.73 s (100 km/h in 10.31 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.22 s, tripping the lights at 80.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s and the eighth mile in 11.12 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 2.0 GDI PHEV 202

The 2018 Kia Optima Sportswagon 2.0 GDI PHEV 202 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,540 kg with 150 bhp, which works out at 98 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.69 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 9,658th quickest to 60 mph, and the 84th quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 80.6 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 Sportswagon 2.0 GDI PHEV 202 0-60 time?
The Kia Optima Sportswagon 2.0 GDI PHEV 202 reaches 60 mph in 9.73 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,658th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Optima Sportswagon 2.0 GDI PHEV 202 quarter mile time?
17.22 s at 80.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.12 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Optima Sportswagon 2.0 GDI PHEV 202 have?
150 bhp and 1,540 kg, which is 98 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 192 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Optima Sportswagon 2.0 GDI PHEV 202?
Closest here on pace: Lancia Flavia 2.4 175 (9.74 s), Nissan Sunny Sedan 1.6 16V 102 (9.74 s), Citroen CX 2.4 128 (9.66 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Optima Sportswagon 2.0 GDI PHEV 202 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 2.0 GDI PHEV 202 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.
