Citroen C5 X 1.2 PureTech 131

The Citroen C5 X 1.2 PureTech 131 reaches 60 mph in 10.17 s (100 km/h in 10.86 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.58 s, tripping the lights at 78.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s and the eighth mile in 11.26 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 C5 X 1.2 PureTech 131

The 2021 Citroen C5 X 1.2 PureTech 131 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,493 kg with 129 bhp, which works out at 86 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.65 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 10,424th quickest to 60 mph, and the 113th quickest of the 387 Citroens here. Its 78.6 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 Citroen C5 X 1.2 PureTech 131 0-60 time?
The Citroen C5 X 1.2 PureTech 131 reaches 60 mph in 10.17 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,424th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Citroen C5 X 1.2 PureTech 131 quarter mile time?
17.58 s at 78.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.26 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Citroen C5 X 1.2 PureTech 131 have?
129 bhp and 1,493 kg, which is 86 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 209 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Citroen C5 X 1.2 PureTech 131?
Closest here on pace: Toyota Avensis 2.0 D4-D 116 (10.17 s), Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110 (10.24 s), Holden Vectra 1.8 122 (10.23 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen C5 X 1.2 PureTech 131 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 Citroen C5 X 1.2 PureTech 131 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.
