VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 170

The VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 170 reaches 60 mph in 7.55 s (100 km/h in 8.53 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.91 s, tripping the lights at 84.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s and the eighth mile in 10.12 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 Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 170

The 2011 VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 170 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 1,695 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 99 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.23 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,647th quickest to 60 mph, and the 253rd quickest of the 1124 VWs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 84.6 mph at the lights is only the 7,479th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 170 0-60 time?
The VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 170 reaches 60 mph in 7.55 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,647th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 170 quarter mile time?
15.91 s at 84.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.12 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 170 have?
168 bhp and 1,695 kg, which is 99 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 201 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 170?
Closest here on pace: Subaru XV 2.0i CVT 147 (7.51 s), Volvo XC60 2.0 D4 190 (7.49 s), Audi A4 Allroad 2.0 TDI Quattro 163 (7.50 s). Each one can be raced against the VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 170 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 Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 170 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.
