Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Hyundai Kona 1.6 177 is the quicker car,
covering it in 15.47 s at
86.1 mph against the Nissan Qashqai 1.6 115’s
18.10 s — a margin of
2.63 s. To 60 mph the Hyundai Kona 1.6 177 takes
7.01 s and the Nissan Qashqai 1.6 115
10.75 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Nissan Qashqai 1.6 115,
2/2 for the Hyundai Kona 1.6 177 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Nissan Qashqai 1.6 115 or the Hyundai Kona 1.6 177 faster?
The Hyundai Kona 1.6 177. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.47 s to the Nissan Qashqai 1.6 115's 18.10 s, a margin of 2.63 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.01 s against 10.75 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Nissan Qashqai 1.6 115 0-60 time?
The Nissan Qashqai 1.6 115 reaches 60 mph in 10.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.10 s at 77.9 mph.
What is the Hyundai Kona 1.6 177 0-60 time?
The Hyundai Kona 1.6 177 reaches 60 mph in 7.01 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.47 s at 86.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Nissan Qashqai 1.6 115 trips the lights at 77.9 mph and the Hyundai Kona 1.6 177 at 86.1 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 Qashqai 1.6 115 and 2 of 2 for the Hyundai Kona 1.6 177. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
