Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX vs Hyundai Sonata 2.4 Mk VI

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX is the quicker car, covering it in 14.68 s at 99.7 mph against the Hyundai Sonata 2.4 Mk VI’s 17.10 s — a margin of 2.42 s. To 60 mph the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX takes 6.22 s and the Hyundai Sonata 2.4 Mk VI 9.19 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX or the Hyundai Sonata 2.4 Mk VI faster?
The Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.68 s to the Hyundai Sonata 2.4 Mk VI's 17.10 s, a margin of 2.42 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.22 s against 9.19 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX 0-60 time?
The Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX reaches 60 mph in 6.22 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.68 s at 99.7 mph.
What is the Hyundai Sonata 2.4 Mk VI 0-60 time?
The Hyundai Sonata 2.4 Mk VI reaches 60 mph in 9.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.10 s at 89.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX trips the lights at 99.7 mph and the Hyundai Sonata 2.4 Mk VI at 89.3 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 7 of 7 for the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 Mk IX and 9 of 9 for the Hyundai Sonata 2.4 Mk VI. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
