Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) is the quicker car,
covering it in 16.81 s at
81.7 mph against the Kia Rio 1.4 77’s
18.90 s — a margin of
2.10 s. To 60 mph the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) takes
8.77 s and the Kia Rio 1.4 77
12.64 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 Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3),
2/2 for the Kia Rio 1.4 77 —
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 Kia Rio 1.4 77 faster?
The Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.81 s to the Kia Rio 1.4 77's 18.90 s, a margin of 2.10 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.77 s against 12.64 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 Kia Rio 1.4 77 0-60 time?
The Kia Rio 1.4 77 reaches 60 mph in 12.64 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.90 s at 71.8 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 Kia Rio 1.4 77 at 71.8 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 Kia Rio 1.4 77. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
