SEAT Leon 180 TSI 180

The SEAT Leon 180 TSI 180 reaches 60 mph in 7.01 s (100 km/h in 7.44 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.50 s, tripping the lights at 89.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s and the eighth mile in 10.02 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 180 TSI 180

The 2009 SEAT Leon 180 TSI 180 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,295 kg with 158 bhp, which works out at 122 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 4,684th quickest to 60 mph, and the 23rd quickest of the 192 SEATs here. Its 89.8 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 180 TSI 180 0-60 time?
The SEAT Leon 180 TSI 180 reaches 60 mph in 7.01 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,684th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Leon 180 TSI 180 quarter mile time?
15.50 s at 89.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.02 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 Leon 180 TSI 180 have?
158 bhp and 1,295 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 212 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the SEAT Leon 180 TSI 180?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0 JTDm 175 (7.02 s), MINI F55 Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 (7.01 s), Audi A3 1.8 TFSI 160 Auto (7.02 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Leon 180 TSI 180 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 180 TSI 180 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.
