Jeep Cherokee 2.1 TD 85

The Jeep Cherokee 2.1 TD 85 reaches 60 mph in 20.24 s (100 km/h in 21.73 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 23.16 s, tripping the lights at 64.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 4.25 s and the eighth mile in 15.44 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Cherokee 2.1 TD 85

The 1984 Jeep Cherokee 2.1 TD 85 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 1,475 kg with 84 bhp, which works out at 57 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 4.25 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 14,912th quickest to 60 mph, and the 68th quickest of the 68 Jeeps here. Its 64.0 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 Jeep Cherokee 2.1 TD 85 0-60 time?
The Jeep Cherokee 2.1 TD 85 reaches 60 mph in 20.24 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,912th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Jeep Cherokee 2.1 TD 85 quarter mile time?
23.16 s at 64.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 15.44 s and clears the first 60 ft in 4.25 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Jeep Cherokee 2.1 TD 85 have?
84 bhp and 1,475 kg, which is 57 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 3 gears and a quoted top speed of 142 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Jeep Cherokee 2.1 TD 85?
Closest here on pace: Dacia 1100 1.1 46 (20.40 s), Renault 11 5-door 1.1 48 (19.80 s), Fiat Panda 0.8 34 (20.63 s). Each one can be raced against the Jeep Cherokee 2.1 TD 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 Jeep Cherokee 2.1 TD 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.

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.
