Questions

Is the Mazda CX-3 1.5 105 or the Lexus RX 350 277 faster?
The Lexus RX 350 277. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.56 s to the Mazda CX-3 1.5 105's 17.82 s, a margin of 2.27 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.98 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 Lexus RX 350 277 0-60 time?
The Lexus RX 350 277 reaches 60 mph in 6.98 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.56 s at 87.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mazda CX-3 1.5 105 trips the lights at 75.4 mph and the Lexus RX 350 277 at 87.9 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 Lexus RX 350 277. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
