Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90 vs Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 is the quicker car, covering it in 17.45 s at 78.8 mph against the Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90’s 17.92 s — a margin of 0.48 s. To 60 mph the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 takes 9.92 s and the Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90 10.78 s.

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

Questions

Is the Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90 or the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 faster?
The Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 17.45 s to the Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90's 17.92 s, a margin of 0.48 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 9.92 s against 10.78 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90 0-60 time?
The Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90 reaches 60 mph in 10.78 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.92 s at 76.4 mph.
What is the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 0-60 time?
The Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 reaches 60 mph in 9.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.45 s at 78.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90 trips the lights at 76.4 mph and the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 at 78.8 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90 and 2 of 2 for the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
