Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104

The Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 reaches 60 mph in 10.33 s (100 km/h in 11.07 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.79 s, tripping the lights at 76.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s and the eighth mile in 11.37 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Niro 1.6 GDI 104

The 2019 Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 is a front-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,497 kg with 103 bhp, which works out at 69 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.80 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 10,684th quickest to 60 mph, and the 109th quickest of the 205 Kias here. It leaves better than it pulls: 76.4 mph at the lights is only the 11,959th 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 Niro 1.6 GDI 104 0-60 time?
The Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 reaches 60 mph in 10.33 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,684th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 quarter mile time?
17.79 s at 76.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.37 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 have?
103 bhp and 1,497 kg, which is 69 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 164 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104?
Closest here on pace: Vauxhall Mokka X 1.6 ECOTEC 110 (10.36 s), Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero/Shogun SWB 3.2 DI-D 160 (2003) (10.37 s), Skoda Roomster 1.6 TDI 105 (10.41 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 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 Niro 1.6 GDI 104 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.
