Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) vs Toyota GR Yaris

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Toyota GR Yaris is the quicker car, covering it in 13.40 s at 103.6 mph against the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4)’s 16.73 s — a margin of 3.34 s. To 60 mph the Toyota GR Yaris takes 4.86 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. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) or the Toyota GR Yaris faster?
The Toyota GR Yaris. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.40 s to the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4)'s 16.73 s, a margin of 3.34 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.86 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 Toyota GR Yaris 0-60 time?
The Toyota GR Yaris reaches 60 mph in 4.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.40 s at 103.6 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 Toyota GR Yaris at 103.6 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 9 of 10 for the Toyota GR Yaris. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
