Kia Sorento 3.5 V6 195

The Kia Sorento 3.5 V6 195 reaches 60 mph in 9.35 s (100 km/h in 9.83 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.35 s, tripping the lights at 84.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.07 s and the eighth mile in 11.52 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 3.5 V6 195

The 2002 Kia Sorento 3.5 V6 195 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,917 kg with 192 bhp, which works out at 100 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.07 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 9,016th quickest to 60 mph, and the 60th quickest of the 205 Kias here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 84.9 mph, the 7,357th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Kia Sorento 3.5 V6 195 0-60 time?
The Kia Sorento 3.5 V6 195 reaches 60 mph in 9.35 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,016th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Sorento 3.5 V6 195 quarter mile time?
17.35 s at 84.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.52 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.07 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Sorento 3.5 V6 195 have?
192 bhp and 1,917 kg, which is 100 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 192 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Sorento 3.5 V6 195?
Closest here on pace: Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ 4.0 V6 184 (9.32 s), Hyundai Santa Fe 2.4 185 (9.37 s), Jeep Compass 2.2 CRD 163 (2007) (9.36 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Sorento 3.5 V6 195 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 3.5 V6 195 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.
