Volvo XC60 3.2 243 vs Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 350 d 4MATIC 258

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 350 d 4MATIC 258 is the quicker car, covering it in 14.86 s at 91.2 mph against the Volvo XC60 3.2 243’s 16.95 s — a margin of 2.09 s. To 60 mph the Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 350 d 4MATIC 258 takes 6.35 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 Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 350 d 4MATIC 258 faster?
The Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 350 d 4MATIC 258. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.86 s to the Volvo XC60 3.2 243's 16.95 s, a margin of 2.09 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.35 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 Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 350 d 4MATIC 258 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 350 d 4MATIC 258 reaches 60 mph in 6.35 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.86 s at 91.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Volvo XC60 3.2 243 trips the lights at 83.3 mph and the Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 350 d 4MATIC 258 at 91.2 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 Mercedes-Benz GLE (W166) 350 d 4MATIC 258. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
