Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 is the quicker car,
covering it in 17.45 s at
78.8 mph against the Kia Picanto 1.0 67’s
20.81 s — a margin of
3.37 s. To 60 mph the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 takes
9.92 s and the Kia Picanto 1.0 67
15.59 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 Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95,
2/2 for the Kia Picanto 1.0 67 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 or the Kia Picanto 1.0 67 faster?
The Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 17.45 s to the Kia Picanto 1.0 67's 20.81 s, a margin of 3.37 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 9.92 s against 15.59 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 0-60 time?
The Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 reaches 60 mph in 9.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.45 s at 78.8 mph.
What is the Kia Picanto 1.0 67 0-60 time?
The Kia Picanto 1.0 67 reaches 60 mph in 15.59 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 20.81 s at 68.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 trips the lights at 78.8 mph and the Kia Picanto 1.0 67 at 68.5 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 Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 and 2 of 2 for the Kia Picanto 1.0 67. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
