How long does it take for the Lamando to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?
2 Answers
The Lamando takes 8.3 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. It is a compact car, and SAIC Volkswagen defines the Lamando as the first wide-body coupe. It is built on the MQB platform and equipped with EA888 TSI and EA211 TSI engines, innovatively integrating turbocharging technology, fuel direct injection technology, and variable valve timing technology to maximize energy efficiency, deliver efficient power output, and achieve ultra-low fuel consumption. It uses a wet 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Lamando's design remains very sporty, with a family-style front face design, a three-bar grille connected to the headlights, round fog lights on either side of the bumper, and very smooth lines on the side of the car. The straight, deep waistline extends all the way to the rear of the car, and the lower part of the rear bumper features a two-tone design, with black accents adding a touch of sportiness.
I've driven the Lamando L quite a few times, and its 0-100 km/h acceleration is around 8.5 seconds, which is pretty average—perfectly adequate for daily driving. I remember the last time I was on the highway, a quick press on the accelerator sent the car smoothly surging forward, giving me plenty of confidence when overtaking. Quick acceleration isn’t just about thrill; it’s also crucial for safety—getting off the line swiftly at intersections reduces the risk of rear-end collisions. I’d recommend using the Eco mode for daily driving to save some fuel while still maintaining smooth acceleration. Overall, the Lamando strikes a good balance here, whether it’s the new or older model, though the 1.4T version tends to be a bit more responsive.
