Kia Sportage 2.0 GSL 163

The Kia Sportage 2.0 GSL 163 reaches 60 mph in 9.64 s (100 km/h in 10.29 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.29 s, tripping the lights at 79.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s and the eighth mile in 11.10 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 2.0 GSL 163

The 2010 Kia Sportage 2.0 GSL 163 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,525 kg with 161 bhp, which works out at 106 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.72 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 9,527th quickest to 60 mph, and the 79th quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 79.4 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 2.0 GSL 163 0-60 time?
The Kia Sportage 2.0 GSL 163 reaches 60 mph in 9.64 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,527th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Sportage 2.0 GSL 163 quarter mile time?
17.29 s at 79.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.10 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Sportage 2.0 GSL 163 have?
161 bhp and 1,525 kg, which is 106 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-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 2.0 GSL 163?
Closest here on pace: Toyota RAV4 5dr 2.0 VVT-i 152 (9.66 s), Jeep Compass 2.0 156 (2007) (9.66 s), Jeep Compass 2.0 156 (2011) (9.66 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Sportage 2.0 GSL 163 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 GSL 163 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.
