What is the Volvo V40 2.0 D2 120 0-60 time?

The Volvo V40 2.0 D2 120 reaches 60 mph in 9.47 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,220th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Volvo V40 2.0 D2 120 quarter mile time?

17.10 s at 79.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.95 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.60 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Volvo V40 2.0 D2 120 have?

118 bhp and 1,577 kg, which is 75 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Volvo V40 2.0 D2 120?

Closest here on pace: MINI Hatch 5dr One 1.2 102 (9.47 s), Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.7 CDTi 100 (9.55 s), Holden Barina 5dr 1.7 CDTI 101 (9.51 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo V40 2.0 D2 120 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 V40 2.0 D2 120 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.

Volvo V40 2.0 D2 120

The Volvo V40 2.0 D2 120 reaches 60 mph in 9.47 s (100 km/h in 10.08 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.10 s, tripping the lights at 79.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.60 s and the eighth mile in 10.95 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 V40 2.0 D2 120

The 2016 Volvo V40 2.0 D2 120 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,577 kg with 118 bhp, which works out at 75 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.60 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 9,220th quickest to 60 mph, and the 253rd quickest of the 386 Volvos here. It leaves better than it pulls: 79.8 mph at the lights is only the 10,129th 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.
