VW Tiguan R

The VW Tiguan R reaches 60 mph in 4.57 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 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,143rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 97 VWs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 102.7 mph at the lights is only the 1,505th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

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.
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.
What cars are comparable to the VW Tiguan R?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS (4.55 s), Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 (4.79 s), BMW X3 M40i G01 (4.36 s). Each one can be raced against the VW Tiguan R 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 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.
