The Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) reaches 60 mph in 8.77 s (100 km/h in 9.81 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.81 s, tripping the lights at 81.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.54 s and the eighth mile in 10.82 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and

About the Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3)
The 2018 Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,385 kg with 134 bhp, which works out at 97 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.54 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 8,008th quickest to 60 mph, and the 40th quickest of the 205 Kias here. It leaves better than it pulls: 81.7 mph at the lights is only the 9,083rd highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions
What is the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) 0-60 time?
The Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) reaches 60 mph in 8.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,008th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) quarter mile time?
16.81 s at 81.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.82 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.54 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) have?
134 bhp and 1,385 kg, which is 97 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 200 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3)?
Closest here on pace: Vauxhall Astra 1.6 CDTi 136 (K) (8.76 s), SEAT Leon 2.0 TDI (8.80 s), MINI Clubvan Cooper D 1.6 122 (8.76 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) 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 Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) 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.
