VW Jetta 2.0 TDI Mk V

The VW Jetta 2.0 TDI Mk V reaches 60 mph in 8.82 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.82 s, tripping the lights at 82.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s and the eighth mile in 10.84 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 2.0 TDI Mk V

The 2007 VW Jetta 2.0 TDI Mk V is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,486 kg with 138 bhp, which works out at 93 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.65 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,779th quickest to 60 mph, and the 85th quickest of the 97 VWs here. Its 82.8 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 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

What cars are comparable to the VW Jetta 2.0 TDI Mk V?
Closest here on pace: Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDi 136 (Mk3) (8.77 s), SEAT Leon 2.0 TDI (8.80 s), Vauxhall Astra 1.6 CDTi 136 (K) (8.76 s). Each one can be raced against the VW Jetta 2.0 TDI Mk V 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 VW Jetta 2.0 TDI Mk V is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
