What is the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the Volvo XC60?

Volvo XC60 T5 model achieves 0-100km/h acceleration in 7.05 seconds. Definition of 0-100km/h acceleration: 0-100km/h acceleration refers to the time taken for a vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h, which is the most intuitive reflection of a car's power. Generally, 1.6L compact cars achieve 0-100km/h acceleration in 11 to 13 seconds, 2.0T mid-size sedans in 7 to 8 seconds, while supercars mostly achieve it in less than 3.8 seconds. Factors affecting test results: Manufacturers usually indicate the official 0-100km/h acceleration time in the vehicle's promotional materials, but actual test results may differ from the official figures. Different environmental temperatures, road conditions, vehicle wear conditions, and even the amount of remaining fuel in the tank can affect the test results, so there are no two identical acceleration test results.
I've been driving the Volvo XC60 T5 version for two years now, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just over 7 seconds, specifically around 7.2 seconds, which is sufficient for daily use. It responds quickly when overtaking in the city or changing lanes on the highway. The car is heavy but not sluggish, providing a stable drive. If you opt for the T8 plug-in hybrid version, the acceleration time can be reduced to 5.3 seconds, with the electric motor assisting for a brisk start, though it comes with slightly higher fuel consumption. I believe acceleration isn't the only consideration; comfort and effective braking are more important, especially on slippery roads during rainy days. The XC60's four-wheel-drive system ensures no slipping. New drivers shouldn't just chase speed; once safe driving habits are developed, this car offers a well-balanced performance.
