Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R vs Volvo XC90 3.2 238

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R is the quicker car, covering it in 15.08 s at 93.3 mph against the Volvo XC90 3.2 238’s 16.69 s — a margin of 1.62 s. To 60 mph the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R takes 6.58 s and the Volvo XC90 3.2 238 8.58 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 3.2 FSI quattro 8R or the Volvo XC90 3.2 238 faster?
The Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.08 s to the Volvo XC90 3.2 238's 16.69 s, a margin of 1.62 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.58 s against 8.58 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R 0-60 time?
The Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R reaches 60 mph in 6.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.08 s at 93.3 mph.
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. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.69 s at 84.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R trips the lights at 93.3 mph and the Volvo XC90 3.2 238 at 84.3 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 9 for the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R and 2 of 2 for the Volvo XC90 3.2 238. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
