Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) vs Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II is the quicker car, covering it in 14.15 s at 96.6 mph against the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4)’s 17.71 s — a margin of 3.56 s. To 60 mph the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II takes 5.51 s and the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) 10.45 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 Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) or the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II faster?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.15 s to the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4)'s 17.71 s, a margin of 3.56 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.51 s against 10.45 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) 0-60 time?
The Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) reaches 60 mph in 10.45 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.71 s at 77.7 mph.
What is the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II 0-60 time?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II reaches 60 mph in 5.51 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.15 s at 96.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) trips the lights at 77.7 mph and the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II at 96.6 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 Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) and 9 of 10 for the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
