VW Tiguan R

The VW Tiguan R reaches 60 mph in 4.57 s (100 km/h in 4.83 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.19 s, tripping the lights at 102.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.93 s and the eighth mile in 8.41 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.19 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 R

The 2020 VW Tiguan R is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,746 kg with 315 bhp, which works out at 180 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.93 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 1,707th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 9th quickest of the 1124 VWs here. Its 102.7 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 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the VW Tiguan R 0-60 time?
The VW Tiguan R reaches 60 mph in 4.57 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,707th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the VW Tiguan R quarter mile time?
13.19 s at 102.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.41 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.93 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the VW Tiguan R have?
315 bhp and 1,746 kg, which is 180 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the VW Tiguan R?
Closest here on pace: Audi SQ5 3.0 TFSI Quattro 354 (4.57 s), Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS (4.55 s), Cupra Ateca 2.0 TSI 300 (4.63 s). Each one can be raced against the VW Tiguan R 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 R is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
