Volvo XC60 3.2 243 vs Lexus RX 350 277

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Lexus RX 350 277 is the quicker car, covering it in 15.56 s at 87.9 mph against the Volvo XC60 3.2 243’s 16.95 s — a margin of 1.40 s. To 60 mph the Lexus RX 350 277 takes 6.98 s and the Volvo XC60 3.2 243 8.95 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 Volvo XC60 3.2 243 or the Lexus RX 350 277 faster?
The Lexus RX 350 277. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.56 s to the Volvo XC60 3.2 243's 16.95 s, a margin of 1.40 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.98 s against 8.95 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Volvo XC60 3.2 243 0-60 time?
The Volvo XC60 3.2 243 reaches 60 mph in 8.95 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.95 s at 83.3 mph.
What is the Lexus RX 350 277 0-60 time?
The Lexus RX 350 277 reaches 60 mph in 6.98 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.56 s at 87.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Volvo XC60 3.2 243 trips the lights at 83.3 mph and the Lexus RX 350 277 at 87.9 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 — 2 of 2 for the Volvo XC60 3.2 243 and 2 of 2 for the Lexus RX 350 277. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
