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

According to official data, the Reiz comes in two engine displacements: 2.5L and 3.0L. The 2.5L model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds, while the 3.0L model achieves it in 7.8 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 more force is available to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. For example, the BMW 320i has a maximum torque of 205 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds. The Reiz 2.5L has a torque of 236 Nm and also accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission serves as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involving power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better 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 Reiz 2.5L is equipped with a manual-automatic transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. For instance, 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 Reiz 2.5L has a power-to-weight ratio of 125 Hp/T and also accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds.
As someone who frequently tests car performance, when driving the Reiz 2.5L V6 model, my measured 0-100 km/h acceleration time is roughly between 7.5 to 8 seconds, while the official data is around 7.8 seconds. Acceleration time is influenced by engine displacement and design. The Reiz features a naturally aspirated V6 engine producing 193 horsepower, offering smooth starts but less explosive power compared to turbocharged cars. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, its gearshift response isn't particularly fast. With a vehicle weight of nearly 1,500 kg, acceleration time may extend by a few tenths of a second when carrying passengers or luggage. Road conditions also play a crucial role, as slippery surfaces can cause wheelspin and slow down acceleration. For precise measurements, professional equipment is required for testing on straight roads. In daily driving, this speed is sufficient for safe overtaking, and the car remains stable at high speeds with good handling. The rear-wheel-drive layout provides a slight sense of push-back. Performance improvements can be achieved through ECU optimization or lighter wheels, though the factory settings offer a balanced and reliable performance.
I've been driving the Reiz for almost five years. The 2.5L model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in about 7.8 seconds, with some variation in real-world tests. For city driving, acceleration time isn't the priority - smooth starts and fuel efficiency are more practical. Reaching 100 km/h within 8 seconds is sufficient for overtaking without stress. The engine responds smoothly with minimal jerkiness, and compared to similar sedans like the Camry, the Reiz's rear-wheel drive feels more agile. Weather has a significant impact; rainy days with poor tire grip might add half a second. Regular maintenance like oil changes and air filter replacements helps maintain consistent acceleration. At 1,500 kg, it's not the lightest, but the well-tuned suspension provides confidence in corners. I find 8-second acceleration perfectly adequate for family use - I prioritize safety and economy over racetrack speeds. Years of driving have taught me that smooth acceleration saves fuel, averaging around 10 liters per 100 km.
