Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II vs Volvo XC40 D3 150

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II is the quicker car, covering it in 14.15 s at 96.6 mph against the Volvo XC40 D3 150’s 16.68 s — a margin of 2.52 s. To 60 mph the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II takes 5.51 s and the Volvo XC40 D3 150 8.52 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II or the Volvo XC40 D3 150 faster?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.15 s to the Volvo XC40 D3 150's 16.68 s, a margin of 2.52 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.51 s against 8.52 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II 0-60 time?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II reaches 60 mph in 5.51 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.15 s at 96.6 mph.
What is the Volvo XC40 D3 150 0-60 time?
The Volvo XC40 D3 150 reaches 60 mph in 8.52 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.68 s at 83.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II trips the lights at 96.6 mph and the Volvo XC40 D3 150 at 83.4 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II and 2 of 2 for the Volvo XC40 D3 150. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
