SEAT Leon 1.9 TDI 100

The SEAT Leon 1.9 TDI 100 reaches 60 mph in 10.98 s (100 km/h in 11.66 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.06 s, tripping the lights at 76.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.92 s and the eighth mile in 11.64 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 1.9 TDI 100

The 2000 SEAT Leon 1.9 TDI 100 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,293 kg with 99 bhp, which works out at 77 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.92 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 11,645th quickest to 60 mph, and the 99th quickest of the 192 SEATs here. Its 76.4 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the SEAT Leon 1.9 TDI 100 0-60 time?
The SEAT Leon 1.9 TDI 100 reaches 60 mph in 10.98 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 11,645th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Leon 1.9 TDI 100 quarter mile time?
18.06 s at 76.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.64 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the SEAT Leon 1.9 TDI 100 have?
99 bhp and 1,293 kg, which is 77 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 188 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the SEAT Leon 1.9 TDI 100?
Closest here on pace: Dacia Sandero 2 1.5 dCI 90 (10.94 s), Lancia Ypsilon 0.9 TwinAir 84 (11.03 s), Nissan Primera Hatchback 1.6 16V 99 (10.94 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Leon 1.9 TDI 100 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 1.9 TDI 100 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.
