@Ayush Malpeddi I can tell from from owning a ‘21 Forte GT2 that when I just floor it it doesnt start out slow, IT GOES. Its slow-ish if you launch it (bring rpms up). Like I mentioned, I have tested mine out using dragy and it avg 6.4-6.5 sec with a best of 6.31 (I have a run on my channel). The n-line is slightly slower by about 2/10th of a sec to 60 mph.

@M4B21S88

2 жыл бұрын

@Ayush Malpeddi Then, yes, we are on the same page. Launching either the Forte GT or N-line will likely make it slower off the line. Thats why the N-line did SO HORRIBLE on that race against the Si...its real competition on that race lol If anything, both nline and GT, should be quicker than the Si bc of automatic transmission and consistency, the Si can be more tricky to get it in the mid 6s sec....the Nline shouldn't have been launched.

To believe that Hyundai would build significantly different DCTs for the the Sonata and the KIA is a stretch to say the least. However, according to C&D there is a very slight difference in the 4th gear transmission ratios (1.32 in the KIA vs 1.62 in the Sonata) and in the final drive axle ratio (2.99 in the Sonata vs 2.94 in the K5.) And there may well be a difference in the software that KIA and Hyundai designers programmed for the shift points under hard acceleration. I doubt, though, that those differences account for the results. More likely, differences may have resulted (1) tires and wear, (2) driver behavior, (3) differences between these particular examples of each vehicle, (4) differences in the character of the pavement in the lanes each was on or even (5) a difference in aerodynamic efficiency in the designs. Switching drivers and lanes might have been advisable and we know nothing about the relative wear and type of tires of each vehicle. The performances were so close that any of those factors might have contributed to the results. Best to call it a tie and be done with it. An alternate comparison might well be the K5 GT versus the GT-Line Stinger with the same engine and a traditional 8 speed transmission vs the K5's DCT. The Stinger is heavier and its conventional transmission may be a disadvantage but its RWD and RWD-biased AWD gives it a significant advantage in terms of putting power down on the pavement. Unfortunately, though, the GT-Line Stinger is not sold in Canada and current travel restrictions make it impossible to arrange a comparison with a vehicle from across the border. Perhaps in the near future? It would be an interesting match.

Hi Sam, must be the mapping of the transmission. Look's like kia has a better lauch compare to the little cousin Hyundai, on all model. Got a Forte GT and it's quicker than it cousin the Elantra N-line. However it is the same engine, same hp and dct, only the programing from Kia is different than Hyundai, ....I guess

Mapping of transmission, torque curve (could be the same). Kia is ever so slightly lighter by 14 lbs lol. That probably means nothing. Also it depends on the tires. My best guess they used the stock tires.

Styling wise. Hands down kia.

Can you race these vs Buggati Chiron ?!!! Pleaseee it will be a close race the Buggati is heavy🤣🤣 lol nah nice runs there both quick cars and provide plenty of power for most people.There not as cheap as you may think tho cars have been getting so expensive these last 5 years or so..deff cheaper then the competition tho
