About the C Class C 160 129

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,419 kg with 127 bhp, which works out at 90 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 90 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.59 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,127th quickest to 60 mph, and the 997th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 83.1 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 Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 reaches 60 mph in 8.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,127th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 quarter mile time?
16.76 s at 83.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.77 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.59 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 have?
127 bhp and 1,419 kg, which is 90 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 9 gears and a quoted top speed of 214 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129?
Closest here on pace: Peugeot 508 2.0 HDI 140 (8.85 s), Lancia Thesis 2.4 Multijet 170 (8.88 s), Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon 1.9 JTDm 16V 150 (8.78 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 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 Mercedes-Benz C Class C 160 129 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.
