Volvo V70 Cross Country

The Volvo V70 Cross Country reaches 60 mph in 8.06 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.25 s, tripping the lights at 87.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.58 s and the eighth mile in 10.52 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 V70 Cross Country

The 1997 Volvo V70 Cross Country is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,715 kg with 190 bhp, which works out at 111 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.58 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,650th quickest to 60 mph, and the 23rd quickest of the 27 Volvos here. Its 87.2 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 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 V70 Cross Country is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
