Kia Rondo 2.4 DOHC 177

The Kia Rondo 2.4 DOHC 177 reaches 60 mph in 9.24 s (100 km/h in 9.73 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.29 s, tripping the lights at 84.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.07 s and the eighth mile in 11.46 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 Rondo 2.4 DOHC 177

The 2008 Kia Rondo 2.4 DOHC 177 is a front-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,545 kg with 174 bhp, which works out at 113 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.07 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 8,849th quickest to 60 mph, and the 52nd quickest of the 205 Kias here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 84.9 mph, the 7,323rd highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Kia Rondo 2.4 DOHC 177 0-60 time?
The Kia Rondo 2.4 DOHC 177 reaches 60 mph in 9.24 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,849th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Rondo 2.4 DOHC 177 quarter mile time?
17.29 s at 84.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.46 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.07 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Rondo 2.4 DOHC 177 have?
174 bhp and 1,545 kg, which is 113 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 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 Rondo 2.4 DOHC 177?
Closest here on pace: Jeep Cherokee XJ 4.0 178 (9.23 s), Porsche Cayenne Mk I (9.24 s), Nissan X-Trail (T32) 2.5 CVT 171 (9.25 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Rondo 2.4 DOHC 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 Rondo 2.4 DOHC 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.

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.
