Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104,
2/2 for the Dacia Duster 1.6 105 (2013) —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 or the Dacia Duster 1.6 105 (2013) faster?
The Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 17.79 s to the Dacia Duster 1.6 105 (2013)'s 18.58 s, a margin of 0.79 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 10.33 s against 11.76 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 Dacia Duster 1.6 105 (2013) 0-60 time?
The Dacia Duster 1.6 105 (2013) reaches 60 mph in 11.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.58 s at 73.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 trips the lights at 76.4 mph and the Dacia Duster 1.6 105 (2013) at 73.4 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 Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 and 2 of 2 for the Dacia Duster 1.6 105 (2013). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
