VW Jetta 2.0TDI DSG Mk VI

The VW Jetta 2.0TDI DSG Mk VI reaches 60 mph in 8.57 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.67 s, tripping the lights at 86.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s and the eighth mile in 10.90 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 2.0TDI DSG Mk VI

The 2011 VW Jetta 2.0TDI DSG Mk VI is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,369 kg with 138 bhp, which works out at 101 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.77 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 2,744th quickest to 60 mph, and the 82nd quickest of the 97 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 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 2.0TDI DSG Mk VI 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.
