How long does it take for the C200L to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?

According to official data, the C200L has a 1.5T engine displacement, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in layman's terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, and naturally, the faster the acceleration. The BMW 320i has a maximum torque of 205 Nm, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds. The C200L has a torque of 250 Nm, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for transferring power, inevitably involving power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The C200L's transmission is a manual-automatic transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit is Hp/T). The greater the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The BMW 320i has a power-to-weight ratio of 106 Hp/T, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds. The C200L's power-to-weight ratio is 100 Hp/T, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds.
I drive the previous generation C200L, and I remember it had a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of around 7.7 seconds. The new model, equipped with a 1.5T engine and 48V mild hybrid system, is tuned more conservatively, achieving about 8.1 seconds. It's more than adequate for daily use, especially in city driving where it moves off smoothly with just a light press of the throttle. On the highway, the sport mode delivers noticeable acceleration when overtaking. In the same class, the BMW 325i does it in about 7.6 seconds, while the Audi A4L with the lower power output takes over 8 seconds. While Mercedes may not be the fastest in acceleration, the smoothness of its gear shifts is truly unparalleled. Don't just focus on the numbers; the actual driving experience with that silky smoothness is what's truly addictive.
