According to official data, the 2022 10th-generation Honda Civic accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in naturally faster acceleration. The 2021 Buick Excelle has a maximum torque of 141 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.87 seconds; the 2022 10th-generation Honda Civic has a maximum torque of 180 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for power delivery and inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The 2022 10th-generation Honda Civic is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit is Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The 2021 Buick Excelle has a power-to-weight ratio of 89 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.87 seconds; the 2022 10th-generation Honda Civic has a power-to-weight ratio of 98.1 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds.
I've been driving the 10th-generation Civic for two years now, and I'm quite satisfied with its 0-100 km/h acceleration. The official claim is around 8.5 seconds for the 1.5T automatic version, which feels about right in real-world driving. I remember testing it in an open area right after I got the car - turning off the AC, flooring it from a standstill, with slight tire spin before it shot forward. Timing it showed just over 8 seconds. This performance is quite fast among joint-venture cars in its class, significantly quicker than the Sylphy or Lavida. The manual version is said to do it in 7.5 seconds, though I got the CVT. Rainy conditions add about half a second due to reduced tire grip.
