Volvo XC60 2.4D DRIVe Mk I

The Volvo XC60 2.4D DRIVe Mk I reaches 60 mph in 8.76 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.82 s, tripping the lights at 83.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s and the eighth mile in 10.89 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 2.4D DRIVe Mk I

The 2009 Volvo XC60 2.4D DRIVe Mk I is a front-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,718 kg with 173 bhp, which works out at 101 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.69 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,772nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 25th quickest of the 27 Volvos here. Its 83.2 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 9 of 9 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 XC60 2.4D DRIVe Mk I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
