Volvo XC70 D5 185

The Volvo XC70 D5 185 reaches 60 mph in 8.50 s (100 km/h in 9.10 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.55 s, tripping the lights at 82.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.50 s and the eighth mile in 10.58 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 XC70 D5 185

The 2004 Volvo XC70 D5 185 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,694 kg with 182 bhp, which works out at 108 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.50 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 7,508th quickest to 60 mph, and the 176th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. It leaves better than it pulls: 82.9 mph at the lights is only the 8,410th 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 XC70 D5 185 0-60 time?
The Volvo XC70 D5 185 reaches 60 mph in 8.50 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,508th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo XC70 D5 185 quarter mile time?
16.55 s at 82.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.58 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.50 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo XC70 D5 185 have?
182 bhp and 1,694 kg, which is 108 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 210 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo XC70 D5 185?
Closest here on pace: Opel Signum 3.0 V6 CDTI 150 (8.51 s), Citroen DS5 155 THP 156 (8.50 s), BMW 320i E90 (8.49 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo XC70 D5 185 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 XC70 D5 185 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.
