What is the Volvo XC60 3.2 243 0-60 time?

The Volvo XC60 3.2 243 reaches 60 mph in 8.95 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,359th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Volvo XC60 3.2 243 quarter mile time?

16.95 s at 83.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.98 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Volvo XC60 3.2 243 have?

240 bhp and 1,942 kg, which is 124 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 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 XC60 3.2 243?

Closest here on pace: Subaru Forester 2.5 167 (8.93 s), Nissan X-Trail 2.5 16V 165 (9.02 s), Renault Kadjar 160 TCe GBF 160 (8.95 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo XC60 3.2 243 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 3.2 243 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.

About the XC60 3.2 243

The 2008 Volvo XC60 3.2 243 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,942 kg with 240 bhp, which works out at 124 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.80 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 8,359th quickest to 60 mph, and the 212th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 83.3 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.
