Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 vs Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe 140
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 is the quicker car,
covering it in 16.72 s at
81.1 mph against the Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe 140’s
16.77 s — a margin of
0.06 s. To 60 mph the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 takes
8.76 s and the Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe 140
8.79 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 Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180,
2/2 for the Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe 140 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 or the Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe 140 faster?
The Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.72 s to the Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe 140's 16.77 s, a margin of 0.06 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.76 s against 8.79 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 Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe 140 0-60 time?
The Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe 140 reaches 60 mph in 8.79 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.77 s at 82.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 trips the lights at 81.1 mph and the Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe 140 at 82.3 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 Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe 140. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
