Dacia Sandero 1.5 dCi 85

The Dacia Sandero 1.5 dCi 85 reaches 60 mph in 11.72 s (100 km/h in 12.54 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.54 s, tripping the lights at 73.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s and the eighth mile in 11.85 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 Sandero 1.5 dCi 85

The 2008 Dacia Sandero 1.5 dCi 85 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,090 kg with 84 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 12,506th quickest to 60 mph, and the 33rd quickest of the 93 Dacias here. Its 73.8 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Dacia Sandero 1.5 dCi 85 0-60 time?
The Dacia Sandero 1.5 dCi 85 reaches 60 mph in 11.72 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,506th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Dacia Sandero 1.5 dCi 85 quarter mile time?
18.54 s at 73.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.85 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 Dacia Sandero 1.5 dCi 85 have?
84 bhp and 1,090 kg, which is 78 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 167 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Dacia Sandero 1.5 dCi 85?
Closest here on pace: SEAT Cordoba Vario 1.9 TDI 90 (1999) (11.67 s), SEAT Altea 1.6 102 (11.68 s), Lada Kalina Hatchback 1.6 TDCi 90 (11.71 s). Each one can be raced against the Dacia Sandero 1.5 dCi 85 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 Dacia Sandero 1.5 dCi 85 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.
