How many seconds does the Honda Accord take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?

According to official data, the Accord has two models: 1.5T and 2.0L. The 1.5T model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.48 seconds, while the 2.0L model does it in 8.25 seconds. Factors affecting the 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 and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds. The Accord 2.0L has a torque of 175 Nm and accelerates in 8.25 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 Accord 2.0L is equipped with an electronic 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 BMW 320i has a power-to-weight ratio of 106 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds. The Accord 2.0L has a power-to-weight ratio of 95 Hp/T and accelerates in 8.25 seconds.
I've driven the Honda Accord several times before, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of around 7.5 seconds. The power delivery is quite smooth, thanks to the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine paired with a CVT transmission, making acceleration during city commutes comfortable without being abrupt. The newer Hybrid version might be even quicker, with acceleration times varying by drive mode—Eco mode is slower, but selecting Sport mode delivers more aggressive acceleration. As a family car, the Accord strikes a balance between performance and fuel efficiency, offering moderate but not dangerous push-back feeling during highway overtaking. The engine tuning focuses on smoothness and reliability, maintaining consistent acceleration performance even after long-term use, as long as regular oil changes and maintenance are performed. For those wanting to experience a sense of speed, I recommend test-driving it with full throttle—actual 0-100 km/h times under 8 seconds are definitely sufficient.
