Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 105 is the quicker car,
covering it in 17.37 s at
79.5 mph against the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104’s
17.79 s — a margin of
0.42 s. To 60 mph the Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 105 takes
9.74 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.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104,
2/2 for the Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 105 —
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 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 105 faster?
The Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 105. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 17.37 s to the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104's 17.79 s, a margin of 0.42 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 9.74 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 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 105 0-60 time?
The Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 105 reaches 60 mph in 9.74 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.37 s at 79.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 trips the lights at 76.4 mph and the Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 105 at 79.5 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 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6 105. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
