The Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) reaches 60 mph in 9.11 s (100 km/h in 9.62 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.73 s, tripping the lights at 82.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s and the eighth mile in 10.77 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and

About the Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4)
The 2018 Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,374 kg with 118 bhp, which works out at 86 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.52 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 8,632nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 328th quickest of the 789 Fords here. Its 82.3 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 Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) 0-60 time?
The Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) reaches 60 mph in 9.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,632nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) quarter mile time?
16.73 s at 82.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.77 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) have?
118 bhp and 1,374 kg, which is 86 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 196 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4)?
Closest here on pace: Toyota RAV4 5dr 2.2 D-4D 150 (8.98 s), Peugeot 208 PureTech 100 (Mk2) (9.02 s), Peugeot 308 3dr 1.6 HDiF 110 (9.16 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) 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 Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi 120 (Mk4) 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 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
