SEAT Leon 1.4 TSI 125

The SEAT Leon 1.4 TSI 125 reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s (100 km/h in 9.42 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.61 s, tripping the lights at 82.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.50 s and the eighth mile in 10.69 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 TSI 125

The 2009 SEAT Leon 1.4 TSI 125 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,249 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 99 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.50 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 8,294th quickest to 60 mph, and the 56th quickest of the 192 SEATs here. Its 82.9 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 TSI 125 0-60 time?
The SEAT Leon 1.4 TSI 125 reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,294th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Leon 1.4 TSI 125 quarter mile time?
16.61 s at 82.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.69 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.50 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the SEAT Leon 1.4 TSI 125 have?
123 bhp and 1,249 kg, which is 99 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 196 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the SEAT Leon 1.4 TSI 125?
Closest here on pace: Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (8.93 s), DS Automobiles DS3 1.6 HDi 110 (8.92 s), Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 140 (8.90 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Leon 1.4 TSI 125 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 TSI 125 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.
