Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 DOHC CVT 280

The Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 DOHC CVT 280 reaches 60 mph in 6.50 s (100 km/h in 6.97 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.21 s, tripping the lights at 86.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s and the eighth mile in 9.60 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Highlander 3.5 V6 DOHC CVT 280

The 2014 Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 DOHC CVT 280 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,205 kg with 270 bhp, which works out at 122 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.23 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,893rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 26th quickest of the 311 Toyotas here. It leaves better than it pulls: 86.8 mph at the lights is only the 6,467th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 DOHC CVT 280 0-60 time?
The Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 DOHC CVT 280 reaches 60 mph in 6.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,893rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 DOHC CVT 280 quarter mile time?
15.21 s at 86.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.60 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 DOHC CVT 280 have?
270 bhp and 2,205 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 1 gears and a quoted top speed of 180 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 DOHC CVT 280?
Closest here on pace: BMW X1 xDrive23d 204 (6.49 s), VW Tiguan 2.0 TSI 4MOTION 210 DCT (6.49 s), Skoda Karoq 2.0 TSI 190 (6.49 s). Each one can be raced against the Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 DOHC CVT 280 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Toyota Highlander 3.5 V6 DOHC CVT 280 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
