Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100

The Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100 reaches 60 mph in 10.42 s (100 km/h in 11.07 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.74 s, tripping the lights at 77.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.81 s and the eighth mile in 11.39 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 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100

The 1997 Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,185 kg with 99 bhp, which works out at 84 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.81 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 10,829th quickest to 60 mph, and the 145th quickest of the 201 Mazdas here. Its 77.5 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 Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100 0-60 time?
The Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100 reaches 60 mph in 10.42 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,829th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100 quarter mile time?
17.74 s at 77.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.39 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.81 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100 have?
99 bhp and 1,185 kg, which is 84 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 185 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100?
Closest here on pace: DS Automobiles DS3 1.6 HDi 90 (10.41 s), Kia Pro cee'd 1.4 16V 109 (10.40 s), Nissan Almera / Pulsar 3dr 2.2 DT 110 (2002) (10.33 s). Each one can be raced against the Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100 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 Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 DiTD 100 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.
