Questions

Is the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 or the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 faster?
The Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 17.79 s to the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83's 18.45 s, a margin of 0.66 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 10.33 s against 11.58 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 0-60 time?
The Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 reaches 60 mph in 11.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.45 s at 74.6 mph.
What is the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 0-60 time?
The Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 reaches 60 mph in 10.33 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.79 s at 76.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 trips the lights at 74.6 mph and the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 at 76.4 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 Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 and 2 of 2 for the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
