Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 vs BYD Sealion 7 EV

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BYD Sealion 7 EV is the quicker car, covering it in 12.81 s at 109.3 mph against the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104’s 17.79 s — a margin of 4.98 s. To 60 mph the BYD Sealion 7 EV takes 4.25 s and the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 10.33 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 or the BYD Sealion 7 EV faster?
The BYD Sealion 7 EV. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.81 s to the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104's 17.79 s, a margin of 4.98 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.25 s against 10.33 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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 is the BYD Sealion 7 EV 0-60 time?
The BYD Sealion 7 EV reaches 60 mph in 4.25 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.81 s at 109.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 trips the lights at 76.4 mph and the BYD Sealion 7 EV at 109.3 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 Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 and 8 of 10 for the BYD Sealion 7 EV. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
