Volvo XC40 T3 156

The Volvo XC40 T3 156 reaches 60 mph in 7.50 s (100 km/h in 8.02 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.79 s, tripping the lights at 85.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.20 s and the eighth mile in 10.00 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 XC40 T3 156

The 2017 Volvo XC40 T3 156 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,617 kg with 154 bhp, which works out at 95 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.20 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,564th quickest to 60 mph, and the 101st quickest of the 386 Volvos here. It leaves better than it pulls: 85.4 mph at the lights is only the 7,080th 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 XC40 T3 156 0-60 time?
The Volvo XC40 T3 156 reaches 60 mph in 7.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,564th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo XC40 T3 156 quarter mile time?
15.79 s at 85.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.00 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.20 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo XC40 T3 156 have?
154 bhp and 1,617 kg, which is 95 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 209 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo XC40 T3 156?
Closest here on pace: Audi A4 Allroad 2.0 TDI Quattro 163 (7.50 s), VW T-Roc 1.5 TSI 4MOTION 150 (7.46 s), VW T-Roc 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 150 DCT (7.46 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo XC40 T3 156 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 XC40 T3 156 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.
