About the Vectra Saloon 1.9 CDTi 120

The 2005 Vauxhall Vectra Saloon 1.9 CDTi 120 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,430 kg with 118 bhp, which works out at 83 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.56 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 8,512th quickest to 60 mph, and the 61st quickest of the 164 Vauxhalls here. It leaves better than it pulls: 80.8 mph at the lights is only the 9,592nd highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. 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 Vauxhall Vectra Saloon 1.9 CDTi 120 0-60 time?

The Vauxhall Vectra Saloon 1.9 CDTi 120 reaches 60 mph in 9.04 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,512th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Vauxhall Vectra Saloon 1.9 CDTi 120 quarter mile time?

16.97 s at 80.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.91 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.56 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Vauxhall Vectra Saloon 1.9 CDTi 120 have?

118 bhp and 1,430 kg, which is 83 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 200 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Vauxhall Vectra Saloon 1.9 CDTi 120?

Closest here on pace: SEAT Exeo 2.0 TDI 120 (9.02 s), Skoda Superb 1.4 TSI 125 (2008) (9.03 s), Lancia Thesis 2.4 JTD 150 (9.11 s). Each one can be raced against the Vauxhall Vectra Saloon 1.9 CDTi 120 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 Vectra Saloon 1.9 CDTi 120 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.
