About the Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.0 TD 85

The 1998 Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.0 TD 85 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 1,450 kg with 86 bhp, which works out at 59 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.31 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 14,810th quickest to 60 mph, and the 92nd quickest of the 93 Suzukis here. Its 64.7 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 Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.0 TD 85 0-60 time?
The Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.0 TD 85 reaches 60 mph in 17.89 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,810th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.0 TD 85 quarter mile time?
21.10 s at 64.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.47 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.31 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.0 TD 85 have?
86 bhp and 1,450 kg, which is 59 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 142 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.0 TD 85?
Closest here on pace: Ssangyong Korando 2.3 TD 101 (18.04 s), Land Rover Range Rover 2.5 TD 121 (17.69 s), Land Rover Range Rover 3dr 2.5 TD 121 (17.69 s). Each one can be raced against the Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.0 TD 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 Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.0 TD 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.
