How many seconds does a Cadillac take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?
2 Answers
The specific acceleration time depends on which Cadillac model you are referring to. Generally, Cadillac's 0-100 km/h acceleration performance ranges between 5 to 9 seconds. Below are the acceleration details for some Cadillac models: 1. The Cadillac CT6 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.33 seconds. The standard CT6 is equipped with a 28T engine paired with a 10AT transmission. The optimal launch RPM for the CT6 is 2500 rpm. If the RPM exceeds 2500, the tires may slip, while an RPM below 2500 will result in slower acceleration. The tested 0-100 km/h time is 6.57 seconds. The high-end 30T version features a 3.0T twin-turbocharged engine with a maximum torque of 543 Nm, achieving a 0-100 km/h time of 5.33 seconds. 2. The ATS-L is powered by a 2.0T high-performance turbocharged engine, integrating turbocharging and direct fuel injection technologies, paired with an 8AT transmission. It delivers a maximum power of 205 kW and a maximum torque of 400 Nm, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.2 seconds, placing it between the standard and high-end versions of the CT6. 3. The XT6 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine featuring variable valve timing and intelligent start-stop technology, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. It produces a maximum power of 174 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 8.8 seconds, with a top speed of 210 km/h, showcasing improved overall performance compared to its predecessor.
It depends on the specific model. Take the hottest CT5-V Blackwing for example—I drove my friend's, and its 0-100 km/h acceleration takes only about 3.7 seconds. It's super thrilling, and you can instantly feel the engine's explosive power at launch. This performance comes from its 6.2L V8 engine, delivering over 650 horsepower, paired with rear-wheel drive, making it stable in turns. However, for daily driving, such speed isn't necessary on city roads, as fuel consumption can soar to over 15L per 100 km. Enthusiasts often add turbos to shorten acceleration times, but don't forget regular brake maintenance to avoid safety risks from overly rapid acceleration. Overall, Cadillac's acceleration has improved significantly, more than doubling compared to older models—now it's truly worth buying.
