Cadillac Cimarron Performance Overview
Cadillac’s compact Cimarron had a short 1982 to 1983 production run, and its performance record here is based on 4 verified tests covering those two model years. Across that span, every tested example used a naturally aspirated gasoline four-cylinder rated at 88 hp, establishing a narrow and consistent performance profile. The quickest result came immediately: the 1982 Sedan reached 60 mph in 13.7 seconds and ran the quarter-mile in 19.5 seconds at 70 mph, which remained the model’s benchmark.
Other 1982 Sedan tests show how tightly grouped the Cimarron was in period, with 0-60 times of 14.8 seconds and 15.9 seconds, while the 1983 Sedan recorded 15.7 seconds to 60 mph. That leaves the overall 0-60 range at 13.7 to 15.9 seconds, with a 15.0-second average and an average quarter-mile of 20.53 seconds at 68.3 mph. With only one brief generation, no major engine or powertrain diversification, and no later performance-oriented evolution in the data, the Cimarron stands today as a fixed early-1980s gasoline sedan entry whose measurable performance remained modest and largely unchanged from launch through the end of production.
