About the Sorento 2.4 185

The 2018 Kia Sorento 2.4 185 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,728 kg with 182 bhp, which works out at 106 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.78 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 9,191st quickest to 60 mph, and the 63rd quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 80.9 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 Sorento 2.4 185 0-60 time?
The Kia Sorento 2.4 185 reaches 60 mph in 9.46 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,191st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Sorento 2.4 185 quarter mile time?
17.18 s at 80.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.09 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.78 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Sorento 2.4 185 have?
182 bhp and 1,728 kg, which is 106 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 196 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Sorento 2.4 185?
Closest here on pace: Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe CVT 150 (9.44 s), Dacia Duster 1.2 TCe 125 (2010) (9.45 s), Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited 3.8 V6 199 (9.53 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Sorento 2.4 185 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 Sorento 2.4 185 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.

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.
