SEAT Leon 1.4 85

The SEAT Leon 1.4 85 reaches 60 mph in 12.49 s (100 km/h in 13.25 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.16 s, tripping the lights at 73.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.29 s and the eighth mile in 12.50 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 Leon 1.4 85

The 2009 SEAT Leon 1.4 85 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,176 kg with 84 bhp, which works out at 72 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.29 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 13,246th quickest to 60 mph, and the 134th quickest of the 192 SEATs here. Its 73.9 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 Leon 1.4 85 0-60 time?
The SEAT Leon 1.4 85 reaches 60 mph in 12.49 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,246th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Leon 1.4 85 quarter mile time?
19.16 s at 73.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.50 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.29 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the SEAT Leon 1.4 85 have?
84 bhp and 1,176 kg, which is 72 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 172 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the SEAT Leon 1.4 85?
Closest here on pace: Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005) (12.45 s), Nissan Note 1.2 MPI 80 (12.47 s), Fiat Punto 3dr 1.2 69 (12.48 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Leon 1.4 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 SEAT Leon 1.4 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.
