Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) vs Renault Captur 1.3 TCe 154
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Renault Captur 1.3 TCe 154 is the quicker car,
covering it in 16.09 s at
86.8 mph against the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4)’s
16.73 s — a margin of
0.64 s. To 60 mph the Renault Captur 1.3 TCe 154 takes
7.75 s and the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4)
9.11 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4),
2/2 for the Renault Captur 1.3 TCe 154 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) or the Renault Captur 1.3 TCe 154 faster?
The Renault Captur 1.3 TCe 154. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.09 s to the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4)'s 16.73 s, a margin of 0.64 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.75 s against 9.11 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) 0-60 time?
The Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) reaches 60 mph in 9.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.73 s at 82.3 mph.
What is the Renault Captur 1.3 TCe 154 0-60 time?
The Renault Captur 1.3 TCe 154 reaches 60 mph in 7.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.09 s at 86.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) trips the lights at 82.3 mph and the Renault Captur 1.3 TCe 154 at 86.8 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 Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) and 2 of 2 for the Renault Captur 1.3 TCe 154. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
