About the Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.5 V6 144

The 1998 Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.5 V6 144 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,380 kg with 142 bhp, which works out at 103 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.91 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 9,974th quickest to 60 mph, and the 19th quickest of the 93 Suzukis here. Its 79.4 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.

142 bhp and 1,380 kg, which is 103 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 175 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.5 V6 144?
Closest here on pace: Nissan Prairie 2.4 133 (9.93 s), Mazda CX-5 2.0 Skyactiv-G 155 (9.92 s), Kia Sportage 2.0 GDI 166 (9.92 s). Each one can be raced against the Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.5 V6 144 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 2.5 V6 144 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.
