About the Rondo 2.7 V6 DOHC 185

The 2008 Kia Rondo 2.7 V6 DOHC 185 is a front-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,562 kg with 182 bhp, which works out at 117 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.73 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 6,241st quickest to 60 mph, and the 22nd quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 87.1 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 Rondo 2.7 V6 DOHC 185 0-60 time?
The Kia Rondo 2.7 V6 DOHC 185 reaches 60 mph in 7.87 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,241st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Rondo 2.7 V6 DOHC 185 quarter mile time?
16.17 s at 87.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.52 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Rondo 2.7 V6 DOHC 185 have?
182 bhp and 1,562 kg, which is 117 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 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 2.7 V6 DOHC 185?
Closest here on pace: Honda CR-V 2.4 i-VTEC CVT 188 (7.87 s), Land Rover Range Rover 4.4 V8 306 (7.88 s), Toyota RAV4 5dr 2.2 D-4D D-CAT 177 (7.91 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Rondo 2.7 V6 DOHC 185 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 2.7 V6 DOHC 185 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.
