Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) vs Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS is the quicker car, covering it in 13.13 s at 104.2 mph against the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2)’s 16.58 s — a margin of 3.45 s. To 60 mph the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS takes 4.55 s and the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) 8.41 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.

Questions

Is the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) or the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS faster?
The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.13 s to the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2)'s 16.58 s, a margin of 3.45 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.55 s against 8.41 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 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS reaches 60 mph in 4.55 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.13 s at 104.2 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 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS at 104.2 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 9 of 10 for the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 X253 367 PS. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
