Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) vs Toyota Corolla Cross 2.0 e-CVT 197
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Toyota Corolla Cross 2.0 e-CVT 197 is the quicker car,
covering it in 15.35 s at
86.3 mph against the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4)’s
17.71 s — a margin of
2.36 s. To 60 mph the Toyota Corolla Cross 2.0 e-CVT 197 takes
6.68 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.
Watch the run in full — then change the surface, the weather
or the distance and run it again.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4),
2/2 for the Toyota Corolla Cross 2.0 e-CVT 197 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) or the Toyota Corolla Cross 2.0 e-CVT 197 faster?
The Toyota Corolla Cross 2.0 e-CVT 197. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.35 s to the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4)'s 17.71 s, a margin of 2.36 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.68 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 Toyota Corolla Cross 2.0 e-CVT 197 0-60 time?
The Toyota Corolla Cross 2.0 e-CVT 197 reaches 60 mph in 6.68 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.35 s at 86.3 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 Toyota Corolla Cross 2.0 e-CVT 197 at 86.3 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 Toyota Corolla Cross 2.0 e-CVT 197. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
