Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 121

The Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 121 reaches 60 mph in 10.97 s (100 km/h in 11.66 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.08 s, tripping the lights at 76.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s and the eighth mile in 11.62 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 121

The 2000 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 121 is a front-drive turbodiesel SUV of 1,540 kg with 119 bhp, which works out at 78 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.88 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 11,635th quickest to 60 mph, and the 66th quickest of the 76 Chryslers here. Its 76.2 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 121 0-60 time?
The Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 121 reaches 60 mph in 10.97 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 11,635th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 121 quarter mile time?
18.08 s at 76.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.62 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 121 have?
119 bhp and 1,540 kg, which is 78 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 183 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 121?
Closest here on pace: Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi 106 (11.06 s), Chevrolet Captiva 2.0 150 (11.00 s), Daewoo Tacuma/Rezzo 1.8 101 (2000) (10.94 s). Each one can be raced against the Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 121 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.2 CRD 121 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
