Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) vs BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh is the quicker car, covering it in 16.34 s at 83.6 mph against the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4)’s 17.71 s — a margin of 1.37 s. To 60 mph the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh takes 8.02 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 BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh faster?
The BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.34 s to the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4)'s 17.71 s, a margin of 1.37 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.02 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 BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh 0-60 time?
The BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh reaches 60 mph in 8.02 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.34 s at 83.6 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 BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh at 83.6 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 2 of 2 for the BYD Seal U DM-i Boost 18.3kWh. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
