Quick SUV shortlist
SUVs under 5 seconds 0-60
A sub-5-second SUV used to be exotic. Now EVs, high-output gas SUVs, and performance crossovers make that number much more common.
What this comparison shows
Use this shortlist to scan suvs under 5 seconds 0-60 across suv with ev, gas. It is most useful as a starting point before opening the full comparison table.
This page is intentionally narrow: it compares the current 0-60 mph rows in the 0-60 Battle database, keeps the source type visible, and links each row back to the original source. It is a fast screening page, not a replacement for a full road test or manufacturer specification sheet.

Quick take
Quick SUVs are often heavy and tire-sensitive, so braking, range, and replacement tire cost deserve attention too.
Source notes
Rows on this page include 9 tested entries, 3 manufacturer claims. Tested numbers usually carry the most context, but even a tested result can shift with tires, weather, road surface, battery state, fuel level, and launch procedure.
If two vehicles are within a few tenths of a second, treat them as close for everyday use unless the same publication tested both under similar conditions. A small 0-60 gap can be less important than braking, range, cargo space, tire cost, towing, fuel economy, or how easy the quick trim is to buy.
How to read these numbers
0-60 mph times can change with tire, temperature, state of charge, launch-control mode, surface, altitude, and whether rollout is included. This page is meant for quick comparison, with source links included so you can verify the exact trim and test method.
- Use the Source column to separate instrumented tests from manufacturer claims.
- Use the Body and Power columns to avoid comparing vehicles with totally different jobs.
- Open the full table if you need filters for make, origin, model year, or maximum 0-60 time.
0-60 ranking FAQ
Why can 0-60 times vary by source?
0-60 mph results can vary by trim, tire, battery state, weather, road surface, launch-control setup, and whether the test includes rollout.
Should I use 0-60 mph as the only buying metric?
No. It is useful for quick acceleration comparison, but shoppers should also compare braking, handling, range, fuel economy, cargo space, reliability, and price.
