About the Vectra Caravan 3.0 V6 CDTI 184

The 2005 Opel Vectra Caravan 3.0 V6 CDTI 184 is a front-drive turbodiesel estate of 1,560 kg with 181 bhp, which works out at 116 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 7,003rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 149th quickest of the 721 Opels here. Its 86.2 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 Opel Vectra Caravan 3.0 V6 CDTI 184 0-60 time?
The Opel Vectra Caravan 3.0 V6 CDTI 184 reaches 60 mph in 8.25 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,003rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Opel Vectra Caravan 3.0 V6 CDTI 184 quarter mile time?
16.34 s at 86.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.53 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 Opel Vectra Caravan 3.0 V6 CDTI 184 have?
181 bhp and 1,560 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Opel Vectra Caravan 3.0 V6 CDTI 184?
Closest here on pace: Ford Focus Estate 1.5 EcoBoost Start/Stop 150 (8.22 s), VW Passat Variant 2.0 TDI B6 170 PS (8.20 s), Renault Talisman Estate 1.3 TCe 160 (8.19 s). Each one can be raced against the Opel Vectra Caravan 3.0 V6 CDTI 184 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 Opel Vectra Caravan 3.0 V6 CDTI 184 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.
