Questions

Is the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 or the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 faster?
The Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.33 s to the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185's 16.41 s, a margin of 1.08 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.86 s against 8.30 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 0-60 time?
The Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 reaches 60 mph in 8.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.41 s at 82.3 mph.
What is the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 0-60 time?
The Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 reaches 60 mph in 6.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.33 s at 90.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 trips the lights at 82.3 mph and the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290 at 90.8 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 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 185 and 2 of 2 for the Ford Explorer 3.5 V6 290. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
