Volvo V40 2.0 D3 150

The Volvo V40 2.0 D3 150 reaches 60 mph in 8.34 s (100 km/h in 8.91 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.48 s, tripping the lights at 83.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s and the eighth mile in 10.59 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 D3 150

The 2012 Volvo V40 2.0 D3 150 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,607 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 92 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.55 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 7,193rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 167th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. It leaves better than it pulls: 83.3 mph at the lights is only the 8,174th 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 Volvo V40 2.0 D3 150 0-60 time?
The Volvo V40 2.0 D3 150 reaches 60 mph in 8.34 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,193rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo V40 2.0 D3 150 quarter mile time?
16.48 s at 83.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.59 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo V40 2.0 D3 150 have?
148 bhp and 1,607 kg, which is 92 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 204 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo V40 2.0 D3 150?
Closest here on pace: MINI Hatch 5dr Cooper D 1.5 116 (8.32 s), Opel Astra 5dr 1.4 ECOTEC 125 (8.30 s), Holden Astra 5dr 1.9 CDTI 120 (8.39 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo V40 2.0 D3 150 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 D3 150 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.
