Volvo S60 D5 163

The Volvo S60 D5 163 reaches 60 mph in 8.15 s (100 km/h in 9.12 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.44 s, tripping the lights at 84.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s and the eighth mile in 10.62 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 S60 D5 163

The 2000 Volvo S60 D5 163 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,583 kg with 161 bhp, which works out at 102 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.65 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,805th quickest to 60 mph, and the 144th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. It leaves better than it pulls: 84.1 mph at the lights is only the 7,786th 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Volvo S60 D5 163 0-60 time?
The Volvo S60 D5 163 reaches 60 mph in 8.15 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,805th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo S60 D5 163 quarter mile time?
16.44 s at 84.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.62 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo S60 D5 163 have?
161 bhp and 1,583 kg, which is 102 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 210 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo S60 D5 163?
Closest here on pace: Ford Mondeo Sedan 1.5 EcoBoost 160 Auto (8.18 s), Kia ProCeed 1.4 T-GDi 140 (8.22 s), Skoda Superb 1.5 TSI 150 (8.23 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo S60 D5 163 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 Volvo S60 D5 163 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
