Kia Sorento 3.3 V6 240

The Kia Sorento 3.3 V6 240 reaches 60 mph in 8.33 s (100 km/h in 8.83 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.51 s, tripping the lights at 85.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s and the eighth mile in 10.72 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 3.3 V6 240

The 2006 Kia Sorento 3.3 V6 240 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,029 kg with 241 bhp, which works out at 119 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.80 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 7,175th quickest to 60 mph, and the 31st quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 85.0 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 3.3 V6 240 0-60 time?
The Kia Sorento 3.3 V6 240 reaches 60 mph in 8.33 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,175th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Sorento 3.3 V6 240 quarter mile time?
16.51 s at 85.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.72 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Sorento 3.3 V6 240 have?
241 bhp and 2,029 kg, which is 119 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-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 Sorento 3.3 V6 240?
Closest here on pace: Mazda CX-3 SkyActiv-G 150 AWD (8.30 s), Land Rover Range Rover 4.4 V8 286 (8.34 s), Lexus RX 200t 238 (8.30 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Sorento 3.3 V6 240 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 3.3 V6 240 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.
