Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) vs MG HS 1.5T GDI 162

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the MG HS 1.5T GDI 162 is the quicker car, covering it in 16.75 s at 82.7 mph against the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4)’s 17.71 s — a margin of 0.96 s. To 60 mph the MG HS 1.5T GDI 162 takes 9.03 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 MG HS 1.5T GDI 162 faster?
The MG HS 1.5T GDI 162. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.75 s to the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4)'s 17.71 s, a margin of 0.96 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 9.03 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 MG HS 1.5T GDI 162 0-60 time?
The MG HS 1.5T GDI 162 reaches 60 mph in 9.03 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.75 s at 82.7 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 MG HS 1.5T GDI 162 at 82.7 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 MG HS 1.5T GDI 162. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
