Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 vs BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh is the quicker car, covering it in 16.34 s at 83.6 mph against the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180’s 16.72 s — a margin of 0.38 s. To 60 mph the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh takes 8.02 s and the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 8.76 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 Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 or the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh faster?
The BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.34 s to the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180's 16.72 s, a margin of 0.38 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.02 s against 8.76 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 0-60 time?
The Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 reaches 60 mph in 8.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.72 s at 81.1 mph.
What is the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh 0-60 time?
The BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh reaches 60 mph in 8.02 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.34 s at 83.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 trips the lights at 81.1 mph and the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh at 83.6 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 Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 and 2 of 2 for the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
