Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi 126

The Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi 126 reaches 60 mph in 10.23 s (100 km/h in 10.88 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.65 s, tripping the lights at 77.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.78 s and the eighth mile in 11.33 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Soul 1.6 CRDi 126

The 2008 Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi 126 is a front-drive turbodiesel SUV of 1,270 kg with 125 bhp, which works out at 98 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.78 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 10,537th quickest to 60 mph, and the 101st quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 77.9 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 Soul 1.6 CRDi 126 0-60 time?
The Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi 126 reaches 60 mph in 10.23 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,537th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi 126 quarter mile time?
17.65 s at 77.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.33 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 Soul 1.6 CRDi 126 have?
125 bhp and 1,270 kg, which is 98 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 182 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi 126?
Closest here on pace: Nissan Qashqai 2.0 CVT 141 (10.16 s), Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 150 (10.15 s), Proton Exora 1.6 CVT 140 (10.17 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi 126 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 Soul 1.6 CRDi 126 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.
