Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3),
2/2 for the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) or the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 faster?
The Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.81 s to the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83's 18.45 s, a margin of 1.65 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.77 s against 11.58 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) 0-60 time?
The Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) reaches 60 mph in 8.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.81 s at 81.7 mph.
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 trap speed does each car run?
The Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) trips the lights at 81.7 mph and the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 at 74.6 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 Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) and 2 of 2 for the Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
