Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 vs Volvo V60 Polestar 2.0 367
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Volvo V60 Polestar 2.0 367 is the quicker car,
covering it in 12.82 s at
105.9 mph against the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104’s
17.79 s — a margin of
4.97 s. To 60 mph the Volvo V60 Polestar 2.0 367 takes
4.30 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 Volvo V60 Polestar 2.0 367 —
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 Volvo V60 Polestar 2.0 367 faster?
The Volvo V60 Polestar 2.0 367. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.82 s to the Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104's 17.79 s, a margin of 4.97 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.30 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 Volvo V60 Polestar 2.0 367 0-60 time?
The Volvo V60 Polestar 2.0 367 reaches 60 mph in 4.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.82 s at 105.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Kia Niro 1.6 GDI 104 trips the lights at 76.4 mph and the Volvo V60 Polestar 2.0 367 at 105.9 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 Volvo V60 Polestar 2.0 367. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
