Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 vs Volvo XC40 D3 150

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Volvo XC40 D3 150 is the quicker car, covering it in 16.68 s at 83.4 mph against the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180’s 16.72 s — a margin of 0.04 s. To 60 mph the Volvo XC40 D3 150 takes 8.52 s and the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 8.76 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 Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 or the Volvo XC40 D3 150 faster?
The Volvo XC40 D3 150. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.68 s to the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180's 16.72 s, a margin of 0.04 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.52 s against 8.76 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 0-60 time?
The Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 reaches 60 mph in 8.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.72 s at 81.1 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 Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 trips the lights at 81.1 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 — 2 of 2 for the Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi 180 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.
