Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk7)

The Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk7) reaches 60 mph in 7.79 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.05 s, tripping the lights at 87.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s and the eighth mile in 10.40 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 Golf 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk7)

The 2013 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk7) is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,320 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 112 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.49 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,586th quickest to 60 mph, and the 6th quickest of the 16 Volkswagens here. Its 87.6 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.

What cars are comparable to the Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk7)?
Closest here on pace: Vauxhall Astra 1.4 Turbo 150 (K) (7.79 s), Fiat Croma I.e. Turbo (155 PS) 1A Serie) (Pre-Facelift (7.65 s), Honda Prelude 2.0 e:HEV 203 PS (7.81 s). Each one can be raced against the Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk7) in the panel at the top of this page.
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 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk7) 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.
