The Emgrand GL 1.4T takes 8.8 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. The 0-100 km/h acceleration time refers to the time it takes to accelerate from a standstill to 100 kilometers per hour. The Emgrand GL 1.4T is positioned as a compact sedan with a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body structure. Its dimensions are: length 4725mm, width 1802mm, height 1478mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 55 liters, and curb weight 1380kg. The Emgrand GL 1.4T features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 141PS, maximum power of 104kW, and maximum torque of 235Nm, paired with an 8-speed continuously variable transmission.
As an enthusiast who frequently follows domestic family sedans, I specifically checked the official performance figures of the Emgrand GL's 1.4T engine. Its manual transmission version achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of around 8.8 seconds in real-world tests, while the automatic version takes approximately 9.3 seconds. These figures are considered upper-mid level among family sedans in the 100,000-yuan price range, especially with the turbo kicking in quite quickly during initial acceleration. However, actual driving performance also depends on road conditions and load - using air conditioning in summer might slow it down by about 0.5 seconds. The CVT transmission paired with this car offers good smoothness, but shows slight hesitation during hard acceleration, so I'd recommend switching to sport mode for quicker response. Last year, I tested full-throttle acceleration on a closed suburban road and achieved just over 9 seconds to reach 100 km/h - perfectly adequate performance.
