Mazda CX-3 1.5 105 vs Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) is the quicker car, covering it in 17.71 s at 77.7 mph against the Mazda CX-3 1.5 105’s 17.82 s — a margin of 0.12 s. To 60 mph the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) takes 10.45 s and the Mazda CX-3 1.5 105 10.68 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 Mazda CX-3 1.5 105 or the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) faster?
The Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 17.71 s to the Mazda CX-3 1.5 105's 17.82 s, a margin of 0.12 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 10.45 s against 10.68 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mazda CX-3 1.5 105 0-60 time?
The Mazda CX-3 1.5 105 reaches 60 mph in 10.68 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.82 s at 75.4 mph.
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 trap speed does each car run?
The Mazda CX-3 1.5 105 trips the lights at 75.4 mph and the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4) at 77.7 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 Mazda CX-3 1.5 105 and 2 of 2 for the Kia Sportage 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk4). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
