SEAT Altea 2.0 TDI 170

The SEAT Altea 2.0 TDI 170 reaches 60 mph in 7.78 s (100 km/h in 8.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.09 s, tripping the lights at 86.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s and the eighth mile in 10.40 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 Altea 2.0 TDI 170

The 2004 SEAT Altea 2.0 TDI 170 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,446 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.47 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 6,076th quickest to 60 mph, and the 33rd quickest of the 192 SEATs here. Its 86.1 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 SEAT Altea 2.0 TDI 170 0-60 time?
The SEAT Altea 2.0 TDI 170 reaches 60 mph in 7.78 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,076th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Altea 2.0 TDI 170 quarter mile time?
16.09 s at 86.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.40 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the SEAT Altea 2.0 TDI 170 have?
168 bhp and 1,446 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 208 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the SEAT Altea 2.0 TDI 170?
Closest here on pace: Vauxhall Astra 1.4 Turbo 150 (K) (7.79 s), MINI Clubman Cooper D 2.0 150 (2015) (7.78 s), Opel Astra 5dr 1.6 BiTurbo CDTi 160 (7.79 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Altea 2.0 TDI 170 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 SEAT Altea 2.0 TDI 170 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.
