Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG vs Ceed GT 1.6 T-GDi 204 FWD: chronicle of a drag race at 235 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Ceed GT 1.6 T-GDi 204 FWD hits 100 km/h in 6.57 s versus 6.61 s for the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG. The 0.04 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Ceed GT 1.6 T-GDi 204 FWD is doing 126 km/h against 126 km/h for the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG. The gap is 0.10 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Ceed GT 1.6 T-GDi 204 FWD crosses the line in 14.72 s versus 14.84 s. The 0.12 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Ceed GT 1.6 T-GDi 204 FWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Ceed GT 1.6 T-GDi 204 FWD finishes in 26.74 s versus 26.96 s, with a 0.21 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (235 vs 230 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 230 km/h, the Ceed GT 1.6 T-GDi 204 FWD never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.12 kg/hp vs 6.79 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.38 seconds. The 0.04 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
SEAT Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG and Kia Ceed GT 1.6 T-GDi 204 FWD are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
