Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDI 197

The Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDI 197 reaches 60 mph in 8.90 s (100 km/h in 9.49 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.69 s, tripping the lights at 80.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.43 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 Sorento 2.2 CRDI 197

The 2009 Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDI 197 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 1,890 kg with 194 bhp, which works out at 103 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.43 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,221st quickest to 60 mph, and the 44th quickest of the 205 Kias here. It leaves better than it pulls: 80.7 mph at the lights is only the 9,651st highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDI 197 0-60 time?
The Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDI 197 reaches 60 mph in 8.90 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,221st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDI 197 quarter mile time?
16.69 s at 80.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.60 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.43 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDI 197 have?
194 bhp and 1,890 kg, which is 103 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 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 Sorento 2.2 CRDI 197?
Closest here on pace: Peugeot 5008 1.6 THP 155 (8.86 s), Suzuki Vitara 1.4 Boosterjet 129 (8.94 s), Nissan X-Trail (T31) 2.5 16V 169 (8.89 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDI 197 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 Sorento 2.2 CRDI 197 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.
