Volvo XC60 2.4 D5 (205)

The Volvo XC60 2.4 D5 (205) reaches 60 mph in 7.94 s (100 km/h in 8.51 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.17 s, tripping the lights at 83.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.38 s and the eighth mile in 10.30 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 2.4 D5 (205)

The 2008 Volvo XC60 2.4 D5 (205) is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 1,843 kg with 202 bhp, which works out at 110 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.38 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 6,387th quickest to 60 mph, and the 131st quickest of the 386 Volvos here. It leaves better than it pulls: 83.6 mph at the lights is only the 8,068th 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 2.4 D5 (205) 0-60 time?
The Volvo XC60 2.4 D5 (205) reaches 60 mph in 7.94 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,387th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo XC60 2.4 D5 (205) quarter mile time?
16.17 s at 83.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.30 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.38 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo XC60 2.4 D5 (205) have?
202 bhp and 1,843 kg, which is 110 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-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 XC60 2.4 D5 (205)?
Closest here on pace: Toyota RAV4 5dr 2.2 D-4D 177 (7.91 s), Toyota RAV4 5dr 2.2 D-4D D-CAT 177 (7.91 s), Mazda CX-5 2.2 SKYACTIVE-D 175 (7.91 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo XC60 2.4 D5 (205) 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 2.4 D5 (205) 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.
