Kia Sportage 1.6 GDI 132

The Kia Sportage 1.6 GDI 132 reaches 60 mph in 10.46 s (100 km/h in 11.09 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.73 s, tripping the lights at 78.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.76 s and the eighth mile in 11.44 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 Sportage 1.6 GDI 132

The 2015 Kia Sportage 1.6 GDI 132 is a front-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,397 kg with 130 bhp, which works out at 93 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.76 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 10,901st quickest to 60 mph, and the 119th quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 78.1 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 Sportage 1.6 GDI 132 0-60 time?
The Kia Sportage 1.6 GDI 132 reaches 60 mph in 10.46 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,901st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Sportage 1.6 GDI 132 quarter mile time?
17.73 s at 78.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.44 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.76 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Sportage 1.6 GDI 132 have?
130 bhp and 1,397 kg, which is 93 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 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 Sportage 1.6 GDI 132?
Closest here on pace: Suzuki Vitara 1.6D 2WD 120 (10.44 s), Suzuki Vitara 1.0 Boosterjet 112 (10.41 s), Land Rover Freelander - LR2 2.2 160 (10.53 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Sportage 1.6 GDI 132 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 Sportage 1.6 GDI 132 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.
