Kia Sorento 2.4 GDI 192

The Kia Sorento 2.4 GDI 192 reaches 60 mph in 9.65 s (100 km/h in 10.29 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.29 s, tripping the lights at 80.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s and the eighth mile in 11.14 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 2.4 GDI 192

The 2009 Kia Sorento 2.4 GDI 192 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,768 kg with 189 bhp, which works out at 107 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.77 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 9,536th quickest to 60 mph, and the 80th quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 80.0 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 GDI 192 0-60 time?
The Kia Sorento 2.4 GDI 192 reaches 60 mph in 9.65 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,536th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Sorento 2.4 GDI 192 quarter mile time?
17.29 s at 80.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.14 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Sorento 2.4 GDI 192 have?
189 bhp and 1,768 kg, which is 107 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, 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 2.4 GDI 192?
Closest here on pace: Jeep Compass 2.0 156 (2011) (9.66 s), Toyota RAV4 5dr 2.0 VVT-i 152 (9.66 s), Jeep Compass 2.0 156 (2007) (9.66 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Sorento 2.4 GDI 192 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 GDI 192 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.
