Vauxhall Meriva 1.8i 125

The Vauxhall Meriva 1.8i 125 reaches 60 mph in 9.39 s (100 km/h in 9.92 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.16 s, tripping the lights at 82.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.89 s and the eighth mile in 11.16 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 Meriva 1.8i 125

The 2003 Vauxhall Meriva 1.8i 125 is a front-drive naturally aspirated MPV of 1,325 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 93 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.89 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 9,095th quickest to 60 mph, and the 69th quickest of the 164 Vauxhalls here. Its 82.2 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 Vauxhall Meriva 1.8i 125 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall Meriva 1.8i 125 reaches 60 mph in 9.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,095th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Vauxhall Meriva 1.8i 125 quarter mile time?
17.16 s at 82.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.16 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.89 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Vauxhall Meriva 1.8i 125 have?
123 bhp and 1,325 kg, which is 93 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Vauxhall Meriva 1.8i 125?
Closest here on pace: Renault Espace 2.9 V6 152 (9.39 s), Renault Scenic 2.0 16V 135 (9.38 s), SEAT Alhambra 1.4 TSI 150 (9.45 s). Each one can be raced against the Vauxhall Meriva 1.8i 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 Vauxhall Meriva 1.8i 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.
