About the Sportage 2.0 16V 141

The 2008 Kia Sportage 2.0 16V 141 (2008) is a front-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,442 kg with 139 bhp, which works out at 97 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.86 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 9,209th quickest to 60 mph, and the 65th quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 81.1 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Kia Sportage 2.0 16V 141 (2008) 0-60 time?

The Kia Sportage 2.0 16V 141 (2008) reaches 60 mph in 9.47 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,209th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Kia Sportage 2.0 16V 141 (2008) quarter mile time?

17.27 s at 81.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.18 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.86 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Kia Sportage 2.0 16V 141 (2008) have?

139 bhp and 1,442 kg, which is 97 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Kia Sportage 2.0 16V 141 (2008)?

Closest here on pace: Nissan Juke 1.0 DiG-T 117 (F16) (9.47 s), Holden Captiva 2.0 D 152 (9.56 s), Land Rover Range Rover 4.0 V8 190 (9.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Sportage 2.0 16V 141 (2008) 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 2.0 16V 141 (2008) 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.
