Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) vs Chevrolet Trax 1.6 116
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) is the quicker car,
covering it in 16.58 s at
84.0 mph against the Chevrolet Trax 1.6 116’s
18.40 s — a margin of
1.82 s. To 60 mph the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) takes
8.41 s and the Chevrolet Trax 1.6 116
11.20 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 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2),
2/2 for the Chevrolet Trax 1.6 116 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) or the Chevrolet Trax 1.6 116 faster?
The Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.58 s to the Chevrolet Trax 1.6 116's 18.40 s, a margin of 1.82 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.41 s against 11.20 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) 0-60 time?
The Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) reaches 60 mph in 8.41 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.58 s at 84.0 mph.
What is the Chevrolet Trax 1.6 116 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Trax 1.6 116 reaches 60 mph in 11.20 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.40 s at 76.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) trips the lights at 84.0 mph and the Chevrolet Trax 1.6 116 at 76.5 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 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) and 2 of 2 for the Chevrolet Trax 1.6 116. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
