Kia Picanto 1.0 T-GDi 101

The Kia Picanto 1.0 T-GDi 101 reaches 60 mph in 9.32 s (100 km/h in 9.90 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.10 s, tripping the lights at 80.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.64 s and the eighth mile in 10.94 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.

About the Picanto 1.0 T-GDi 101

The 2021 Kia Picanto 1.0 T-GDi 101 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,018 kg with 99 bhp, which works out at 97 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.64 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 8,985th quickest to 60 mph, and the 59th quickest of the 205 Kias here. It leaves better than it pulls: 80.2 mph at the lights is only the 9,912th 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 Picanto 1.0 T-GDi 101 0-60 time?
The Kia Picanto 1.0 T-GDi 101 reaches 60 mph in 9.32 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,985th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Picanto 1.0 T-GDi 101 quarter mile time?
17.10 s at 80.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.94 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.64 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Picanto 1.0 T-GDi 101 have?
99 bhp and 1,018 kg, which is 97 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Picanto 1.0 T-GDi 101?
Closest here on pace: Honda Civic 5dr 1.6i 133 (9.30 s), Dacia Logan 1.6 16v 115 (9.29 s), Lancia Beta 2.0 115 (9.28 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Picanto 1.0 T-GDi 101 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 Picanto 1.0 T-GDi 101 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.
