About the DS3 1.6 HDi 90

The 2014 DS Automobiles DS3 1.6 HDi 90 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,055 kg with 91 bhp, which works out at 86 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.79 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 10,816th quickest to 60 mph, and the 29th quickest of the 33 DS Automobiless here. Its 77.4 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. 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 DS Automobiles DS3 1.6 HDi 90 0-60 time?

The DS Automobiles DS3 1.6 HDi 90 reaches 60 mph in 10.41 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,816th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the DS Automobiles DS3 1.6 HDi 90 quarter mile time?

17.75 s at 77.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.38 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.79 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the DS Automobiles DS3 1.6 HDi 90 have?

91 bhp and 1,055 kg, which is 86 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 182 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the DS Automobiles DS3 1.6 HDi 90?

Closest here on pace: Mazda 3/Axela Hatchback 1.6 CD 110 (10.41 s), Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100 (10.42 s), Kia Pro cee'd 1.4 16V 109 (10.40 s). Each one can be raced against the DS Automobiles DS3 1.6 HDi 90 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 DS Automobiles DS3 1.6 HDi 90 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.
