Volvo V40 2.0 D4 177

The Volvo V40 2.0 D4 177 reaches 60 mph in 7.47 s (100 km/h in 7.94 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.84 s, tripping the lights at 87.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.48 s and the eighth mile in 10.22 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 D4 177

The 2012 Volvo V40 2.0 D4 177 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,573 kg with 174 bhp, which works out at 111 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.48 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 5,514th quickest to 60 mph, and the 98th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 87.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Volvo V40 2.0 D4 177 0-60 time?
The Volvo V40 2.0 D4 177 reaches 60 mph in 7.47 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,514th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo V40 2.0 D4 177 quarter mile time?
15.84 s at 87.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.22 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.48 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo V40 2.0 D4 177 have?
174 bhp and 1,573 kg, which is 111 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 216 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo V40 2.0 D4 177?
Closest here on pace: Opel Corsa 1.2 130 (7.48 s), VW Phaeton 3.0 TDI (7.51 s), VW Beetle 1.4 TSI 160 DCT (7.45 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo V40 2.0 D4 177 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 D4 177 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.
