About the XC90 3.2 238

The 2007 Volvo XC90 3.2 238 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,212 kg with 240 bhp, which works out at 109 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.73 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 7,653rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 187th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 84.3 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.

Questions

What is the Volvo XC90 3.2 238 0-60 time?
The Volvo XC90 3.2 238 reaches 60 mph in 8.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,653rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo XC90 3.2 238 quarter mile time?
16.69 s at 84.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.80 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo XC90 3.2 238 have?
240 bhp and 2,212 kg, which is 109 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 XC90 3.2 238?
Closest here on pace: Skywell BE11 BE11 Standard Range 72 kWh (8.57 s), Mazda CX-5 2.2 Skyactiv-D 184 (8.59 s), Skywell BE11 BE11 Long Range 86 kWh (8.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo XC90 3.2 238 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 3.2 238 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.
