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 Mazda 2 1.3 75’s
19.32 s — a margin of
2.51 s. To 60 mph the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) takes
8.77 s and the Mazda 2 1.3 75
12.75 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 Mazda 2 1.3 75 —
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 Mazda 2 1.3 75 faster?
The Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.81 s to the Mazda 2 1.3 75's 19.32 s, a margin of 2.51 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.77 s against 12.75 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 Mazda 2 1.3 75 0-60 time?
The Mazda 2 1.3 75 reaches 60 mph in 12.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.32 s at 73.1 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 Mazda 2 1.3 75 at 73.1 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 Mazda 2 1.3 75. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
