VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 170 (2014)

The VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 170 (2014) reaches 60 mph in 7.75 s (100 km/h in 8.23 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.05 s, tripping the lights at 86.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s and the eighth mile in 10.35 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 Jetta 1.4 TSI 170

The 2014 VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 170 (2014) is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,505 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 98 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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,041st quickest to 60 mph, and the 298th quickest of the 1124 VWs here. Its 86.2 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 VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 170 (2014) 0-60 time?
The VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 170 (2014) reaches 60 mph in 7.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,041st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 170 (2014) quarter mile time?
16.05 s at 86.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.35 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 170 (2014) have?
148 bhp and 1,505 kg, which is 98 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 209 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 170 (2014)?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar F-Pace 2.0 180 (7.81 s), Ford Focus Sedan 2.0 TDCi 150 (7.81 s), Ford Focus Sedan 2.0 TDCi Start/Stop 150 Auto (7.81 s). Each one can be raced against the VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 170 (2014) 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 VW Jetta 1.4 TSI 170 (2014) 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.
