Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 150 (B8)

The Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 150 (B8) reaches 60 mph in 7.88 s (100 km/h in 8.33 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.13 s, tripping the lights at 87.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s and the eighth mile in 10.46 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 Passat 2.0 TDI 150 (B8)

The 2015 Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 150 (B8) is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,428 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 103 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.52 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 6,262nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 7th 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.

Questions

What is the Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 150 (B8) 0-60 time?
The Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 150 (B8) reaches 60 mph in 7.88 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,262nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 150 (B8) quarter mile time?
16.13 s at 87.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.46 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 150 (B8) have?
148 bhp and 1,428 kg, which is 103 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 216 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 150 (B8)?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar XF (X250) 2.0 163 (7.87 s), Ford Mondeo Sedan 2.2 TDCi 155 (7.88 s), Volvo V60 2.4 D4 181 (7.89 s). Each one can be raced against the Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 150 (B8) 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 Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 150 (B8) 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 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
