KIA Telluride 0-60

[Sal Collaziano]

So! Let's speculate... What do you think the KIA Telluride will do as far as 0-60 is concerned? 7.9? What's your guess?

Faster than a school bus. Maybe. Not expecting much in that department.

It all depends on gearing for 0-60. Right? It's a heavy suv so I hope they gear it right for good power to take off. But at the same time I don't want it to be weak for passing on the highway. I don't expect it to be fast but I do hope it can move out of its own way!

I hope it's sub 7 seconds!

I'd be very happy if that were the case...

it does have the 8 speed instead of the 6 speed, so I'm thinking it will be in the 3.5-3.7 area on the final dive which will help it..I would think closer to 7 seconds than closer to 8

Lol, it would be nutz if it did 0-60 in less than 4sec! I'm feeling something in the 7's.

You misread my statement, I was estimating the final drive ratio of the gearing to be between 3.5-3.7 not the 0-60. I estimate the 0-60 will be between 7.0-7.4

Well you know at least one or two people with turbo or supercharge their Telluride and get that mid 3 second 0-60.

I found some info and I was on the gear ratio..it's 3.65..do I'm thinking right around the 7 second mark would probably be feasable.

I'd be okay with that. 7 seconds would actually be pretty good for the big Telluride.
