Volvo XC90 2.5 T 210

The Volvo XC90 2.5 T 210 reaches 60 mph in 8.75 s (100 km/h in 9.50 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.81 s, tripping the lights at 82.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.78 s and the eighth mile in 10.88 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 XC90 2.5 T 210

The 2002 Volvo XC90 2.5 T 210 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 2,023 kg with 207 bhp, which works out at 102 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.78 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 7,943rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 196th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 82.8 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.

Questions

What is the Volvo XC90 2.5 T 210 0-60 time?
The Volvo XC90 2.5 T 210 reaches 60 mph in 8.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,943rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo XC90 2.5 T 210 quarter mile time?
16.81 s at 82.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.88 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.78 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo XC90 2.5 T 210 have?
207 bhp and 2,023 kg, which is 102 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 5 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 XC90 2.5 T 210?
Closest here on pace: Renault Arkana 1.3 TCe 140 (8.79 s), Renault Arkana 1.3 MHEV 140 EDC 140 (8.81 s), Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 (8.76 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo XC90 2.5 T 210 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 XC90 2.5 T 210 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.
