Porsche Macan 265 PS vs Volvo XC90 2.0 B5 235

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Porsche Macan 265 PS is the quicker car, covering it in 14.15 s at 95.4 mph against the Volvo XC90 2.0 B5 235’s 15.23 s — a margin of 1.08 s. To 60 mph the Porsche Macan 265 PS takes 5.48 s and the Volvo XC90 2.0 B5 235 6.80 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 Porsche Macan 265 PS or the Volvo XC90 2.0 B5 235 faster?
The Porsche Macan 265 PS. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.15 s to the Volvo XC90 2.0 B5 235's 15.23 s, a margin of 1.08 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.48 s against 6.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Porsche Macan 265 PS 0-60 time?
The Porsche Macan 265 PS reaches 60 mph in 5.48 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.15 s at 95.4 mph.
What is the Volvo XC90 2.0 B5 235 0-60 time?
The Volvo XC90 2.0 B5 235 reaches 60 mph in 6.80 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.23 s at 88.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Porsche Macan 265 PS trips the lights at 95.4 mph and the Volvo XC90 2.0 B5 235 at 88.9 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 Porsche Macan 265 PS and 2 of 2 for the Volvo XC90 2.0 B5 235. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
