Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Peugeot 308 BlueHDi 130 (Mk2) is the quicker car,
covering it in 16.83 s at
83.1 mph against the Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100’s
18.37 s — a margin of
1.55 s. To 60 mph the Peugeot 308 BlueHDi 130 (Mk2) takes
8.85 s and the Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100
11.23 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.
Watch the run in full — then change the surface, the weather
or the distance and run it again.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100,
2/2 for the Peugeot 308 BlueHDi 130 (Mk2) —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 or the Peugeot 308 BlueHDi 130 (Mk2) faster?
The Peugeot 308 BlueHDi 130 (Mk2). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.83 s to the Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100's 18.37 s, a margin of 1.55 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.85 s against 11.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 reaches 60 mph in 11.23 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.37 s at 77.4 mph.
What is the Peugeot 308 BlueHDi 130 (Mk2) 0-60 time?
The Peugeot 308 BlueHDi 130 (Mk2) reaches 60 mph in 8.85 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.83 s at 83.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 trips the lights at 77.4 mph and the Peugeot 308 BlueHDi 130 (Mk2) at 83.1 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 Vauxhall Astra Hatchback 1.4 100 and 2 of 2 for the Peugeot 308 BlueHDi 130 (Mk2). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
