Kia Rio 1.4 77

The Kia Rio 1.4 77 reaches 60 mph in 12.64 s (100 km/h in 13.53 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.90 s, tripping the lights at 71.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.75 s and the eighth mile in 12.05 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 Rio 1.4 77

The 2016 Kia Rio 1.4 77 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,236 kg with 76 bhp, which works out at 62 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.75 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 13,344th quickest to 60 mph, and the 186th quickest of the 205 Kias here. Its 71.8 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.

Questions

What is the Kia Rio 1.4 77 0-60 time?
The Kia Rio 1.4 77 reaches 60 mph in 12.64 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,344th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Kia Rio 1.4 77 quarter mile time?
18.90 s at 71.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.05 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.75 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Kia Rio 1.4 77 have?
76 bhp and 1,236 kg, which is 62 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 166 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Kia Rio 1.4 77?
Closest here on pace: Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 67 (12.48 s), MINI Hatch One 1.4 75 (2001) (12.46 s), Suzuki Splash 1.3 DDiS 75 (12.53 s). Each one can be raced against the Kia Rio 1.4 77 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 Rio 1.4 77 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.
