Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 vs Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) is the quicker car, covering it in 16.81 s at 81.7 mph against the Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100’s 18.37 s — a margin of 1.57 s. To 60 mph the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) takes 8.77 s and the Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 11.23 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 Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 or the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) faster?
The Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.81 s to the Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100's 18.37 s, a margin of 1.57 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.77 s against 11.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 reaches 60 mph in 11.23 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.37 s at 77.4 mph.
What is the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) 0-60 time?
The Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) reaches 60 mph in 8.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.81 s at 81.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 trips the lights at 77.4 mph and the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) at 81.7 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 Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 and 2 of 2 for the Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
