Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Toyota GR Yaris is the quicker car,
covering it in 13.40 s at
103.6 mph against the Kia Rio 1.4 77’s
18.90 s — a margin of
5.51 s. To 60 mph the Toyota GR Yaris takes
4.86 s and the Kia Rio 1.4 77
12.64 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.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —

so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Toyota GR Yaris or the Kia Rio 1.4 77 faster?
The Toyota GR Yaris. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.40 s to the Kia Rio 1.4 77's 18.90 s, a margin of 5.51 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.86 s against 12.64 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Toyota GR Yaris 0-60 time?
The Toyota GR Yaris reaches 60 mph in 4.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.40 s at 103.6 mph.
What is the Kia Rio 1.4 77 0-60 time?
The Kia Rio 1.4 77 reaches 60 mph in 12.64 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.90 s at 71.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Toyota GR Yaris trips the lights at 103.6 mph and the Kia Rio 1.4 77 at 71.8 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 — 9 of 10 for the Toyota GR Yaris and 2 of 2 for the Kia Rio 1.4 77. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
