SEAT Leon 1.4 85 vs Hyundai i30 1.6 95

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Hyundai i30 1.6 95 is the quicker car, covering it in 17.95 s at 75.7 mph against the SEAT Leon 1.4 85’s 19.16 s — a margin of 1.21 s. To 60 mph the Hyundai i30 1.6 95 takes 11.08 s and the SEAT Leon 1.4 85 12.49 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 SEAT Leon 1.4 85 or the Hyundai i30 1.6 95 faster?
The Hyundai i30 1.6 95. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 17.95 s to the SEAT Leon 1.4 85's 19.16 s, a margin of 1.21 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 11.08 s against 12.49 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the SEAT Leon 1.4 85 0-60 time?
The SEAT Leon 1.4 85 reaches 60 mph in 12.49 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.16 s at 73.9 mph.
What is the Hyundai i30 1.6 95 0-60 time?
The Hyundai i30 1.6 95 reaches 60 mph in 11.08 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.95 s at 75.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The SEAT Leon 1.4 85 trips the lights at 73.9 mph and the Hyundai i30 1.6 95 at 75.7 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 SEAT Leon 1.4 85 and 2 of 2 for the Hyundai i30 1.6 95. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
