Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Lexus UX 200 2.0 CVT 169 is the quicker car,
covering it in 16.43 s at
82.6 mph against the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104’s
17.79 s — a margin of
1.36 s. To 60 mph the Lexus UX 200 2.0 CVT 169 takes
8.25 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.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104,
2/2 for the Lexus UX 200 2.0 CVT 169 —
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 Lexus UX 200 2.0 CVT 169 faster?
The Lexus UX 200 2.0 CVT 169. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.43 s to the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104's 17.79 s, a margin of 1.36 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.25 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 Lexus UX 200 2.0 CVT 169 0-60 time?
The Lexus UX 200 2.0 CVT 169 reaches 60 mph in 8.25 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.43 s at 82.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 trips the lights at 76.4 mph and the Lexus UX 200 2.0 CVT 169 at 82.6 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 Lexus UX 200 2.0 CVT 169. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
