For automatic transmission vehicles, the testing method is relatively simple. Press the brake pedal with your left foot and rev the engine with your right foot. When the RPM reaches around 3,000, suddenly release the brake while fully depressing the accelerator until the car accelerates to 100 km/h. For manual transmission vehicles, first press the clutch with your left foot, engage first gear, and rev the engine with your right foot. When the RPM reaches around 3,000, suddenly release the clutch while fully depressing the accelerator. When the engine RPM approaches the limit, shift to second gear while continuing to fully depress the accelerator. Below are several models with 0-100 km/h acceleration times around 8 seconds: 1. Volkswagen Golf GTI: 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. As a star model of Volkswagen, the Golf enjoys a global reputation. Its sporty tuning gives it strong handling and performance, earning it the nickname "hot hatch." The GTI variant is a more affordable high-performance version, featuring stylish sporty kits that appeal to younger drivers. Its 2.0T engine paired with Volkswagen's DSG dual-clutch transmission delivers particularly swift power output. 2. Honda Civic: 0-100 km/h in 7 seconds. The Civic's 1.5T Earth Dreams engine delivers extremely powerful performance. 3. Toyota Camry: Words like sporty, handling, and power were not typically associated with the Camry, but the all-new eighth-generation Camry has changed that. Based on the new TNGA platform, it features a 2.5L engine with 40% thermal efficiency and an 8-speed automatic transmission with lower internal resistance and a wider lock-up range, delivering naturally strong power. Its low center of gravity layout and double-wishbone rear suspension further enhance performance.
I love using the CarVista app to measure 0-100km/h acceleration because it's simple and quick. First, download and install the CarVista app on your phone, then select the acceleration test mode. Find a safe location, like an empty parking lot or test track, ensuring the road is flat and free from interference. Start the car and let it warm up for a few minutes. Before starting, the app will calibrate the GPS position—then hit the start test button. I accelerate from a standstill with full throttle to 100km/h, and the app automatically tracks speed changes and displays the time result. I've tested multiple car models and found that data accuracy is heavily affected by weather—for example, signals are stable on sunny days but prone to errors on rainy days. I recommend doing at least two tests to get an average and checking that the phone is securely placed. The whole process takes less than five minutes, and the app can save historical records for progress comparison—it's both practical and fun. Don't forget safety first—avoid testing on public roads to prevent accidents.
