Volvo XC60 2.0 D5 235

The Volvo XC60 2.0 D5 235 reaches 60 mph in 6.43 s (100 km/h in 6.85 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.95 s, tripping the lights at 90.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.10 s and the eighth mile in 9.49 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 XC60 2.0 D5 235

The 2017 Volvo XC60 2.0 D5 235 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 1,941 kg with 232 bhp, which works out at 120 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.10 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 3,801st quickest to 60 mph, and the 47th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. It leaves better than it pulls: 90.4 mph at the lights is only the 4,985th 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 XC60 2.0 D5 235 0-60 time?
The Volvo XC60 2.0 D5 235 reaches 60 mph in 6.43 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,801st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo XC60 2.0 D5 235 quarter mile time?
14.95 s at 90.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.49 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.10 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo XC60 2.0 D5 235 have?
232 bhp and 1,941 kg, which is 120 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 220 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo XC60 2.0 D5 235?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2.0 200 (6.43 s), Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (X164) 420 V8 CDI 4MATIC 306 (6.44 s), Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (X164) 450 V8 CDI 4MATIC 306 (6.44 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo XC60 2.0 D5 235 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 XC60 2.0 D5 235 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.
