About the Sportage 2.7 V6 175

The 2008 Kia Sportage 2.7 V6 175 (2008) is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,570 kg with 173 bhp, which works out at 110 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.11 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 9,470th quickest to 60 mph, and the 77th quickest of the 205 Kias here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 82.7 mph, the 8,556th 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.

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 2.7 V6 175 (2008) 0-60 time?

The Kia Sportage 2.7 V6 175 (2008) reaches 60 mph in 9.60 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,470th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Kia Sportage 2.7 V6 175 (2008) quarter mile time?

17.59 s at 82.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.60 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.11 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Kia Sportage 2.7 V6 175 (2008) have?

173 bhp and 1,570 kg, which is 110 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 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 2.7 V6 175 (2008)?

Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Space Runner 1.8 122 (9.60 s), Jeep Compass 2.0 156 (2011) (9.66 s), Pontiac Trans Sport 3.8i V6 175 (9.67 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Sportage 2.7 V6 175 (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 2.7 V6 175 (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.
