Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Hyundai Palisade 3.8 GDi V6 291 is the quicker car,
covering it in 15.50 s at
91.8 mph against the Hyundai Tucson 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3)’s
17.66 s — a margin of
2.16 s. To 60 mph the Hyundai Palisade 3.8 GDi V6 291 takes
7.06 s and the Hyundai Tucson 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3)
10.36 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.
Watch the run in full — then change the surface, the weather
or the distance and run it again.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Hyundai Tucson 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3),
2/2 for the Hyundai Palisade 3.8 GDi V6 291 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Hyundai Tucson 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) or the Hyundai Palisade 3.8 GDi V6 291 faster?
The Hyundai Palisade 3.8 GDi V6 291. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.50 s to the Hyundai Tucson 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3)'s 17.66 s, a margin of 2.16 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.06 s against 10.36 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Hyundai Tucson 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) 0-60 time?
The Hyundai Tucson 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) reaches 60 mph in 10.36 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.66 s at 77.9 mph.
What is the Hyundai Palisade 3.8 GDi V6 291 0-60 time?
The Hyundai Palisade 3.8 GDi V6 291 reaches 60 mph in 7.06 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.50 s at 91.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Hyundai Tucson 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) trips the lights at 77.9 mph and the Hyundai Palisade 3.8 GDi V6 291 at 91.8 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 — 2 of 2 for the Hyundai Tucson 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) and 2 of 2 for the Hyundai Palisade 3.8 GDi V6 291. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
