Nissan Leaf 52kWh vs Nissan Note 1.2 DIG-S CVT 98

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Nissan Leaf 52kWh is the quicker car, covering it in 16.15 s at 81.3 mph against the Nissan Note 1.2 DIG-S CVT 98’s 18.15 s — a margin of 2.01 s. To 60 mph the Nissan Leaf 52kWh takes 7.66 s and the Nissan Note 1.2 DIG-S CVT 98 10.97 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 Nissan Leaf 52kWh or the Nissan Note 1.2 DIG-S CVT 98 faster?
The Nissan Leaf 52kWh. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.15 s to the Nissan Note 1.2 DIG-S CVT 98's 18.15 s, a margin of 2.01 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.66 s against 10.97 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Nissan Leaf 52kWh 0-60 time?
The Nissan Leaf 52kWh reaches 60 mph in 7.66 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.15 s at 81.3 mph.
What is the Nissan Note 1.2 DIG-S CVT 98 0-60 time?
The Nissan Note 1.2 DIG-S CVT 98 reaches 60 mph in 10.97 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.15 s at 75.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Nissan Leaf 52kWh trips the lights at 81.3 mph and the Nissan Note 1.2 DIG-S CVT 98 at 75.5 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 Nissan Leaf 52kWh and 2 of 2 for the Nissan Note 1.2 DIG-S CVT 98. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
