Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 vs Hyundai Elantra 1.6 128
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 is the quicker car,
covering it in 16.41 s at
82.3 mph against the Hyundai Elantra 1.6 128’s
17.82 s — a margin of
1.41 s. To 60 mph the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 takes
8.30 s and the Hyundai Elantra 1.6 128
10.47 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.
Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185,
2/2 for the Hyundai Elantra 1.6 128 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 or the Hyundai Elantra 1.6 128 faster?
The Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.41 s to the Hyundai Elantra 1.6 128's 17.82 s, a margin of 1.41 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.30 s against 10.47 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 0-60 time?
The Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 reaches 60 mph in 8.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.41 s at 82.3 mph.
What is the Hyundai Elantra 1.6 128 0-60 time?
The Hyundai Elantra 1.6 128 reaches 60 mph in 10.47 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.82 s at 79.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 trips the lights at 82.3 mph and the Hyundai Elantra 1.6 128 at 79.0 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 and 2 of 2 for the Hyundai Elantra 1.6 128. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
