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

According to official data, the Dongfeng Nissan Sylphy comes in two engine displacements: 1.2L and 1.6L. The 1.2L variant takes 12.1-12.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, while the 1.6L variant takes 11.4 seconds. Factors affecting the vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time include: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents the strength of the force. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The Sylphy 2022 1.6L XL CVT Yuexiang Edition has a maximum torque of 159 N·m and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.4 seconds. The Sylphy 2022 Classic 1.6L XE CVT Comfort Edition has a torque of 155 N·m and takes 12.1 seconds to reach 100 km/h. Transmission efficiency: The transmission, as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involves 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 Sylphy 2022 Classic 1.6L XE Manual Comfort Edition features a 5-speed manual transmission, while other models are equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The Sylphy 2022 e-POWER Ultra Luxury Edition has a power-to-weight ratio of 48 Hp/T, while the Sylphy 2022 Classic 1.6L XL CVT Luxury Edition has a ratio of 98 Hp/T and takes 12.1 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h.
After driving a Sylphy for several years, I've personally tested its 0-100 km/h acceleration. With the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine paired with a CVT transmission, it takes about 11.5 seconds. The overall feeling is quite smooth but not particularly fast. Weight significantly impacts acceleration – when fully loaded with luggage or family members, it slows down by about half a second. Worn-out tires with reduced grip also hinder performance, so I recommend regularly checking tire pressure. As a daily commuter car, acceleration isn't the Sylphy's strong suit, but fuel efficiency and comfort are more important; if budget allows, try the e-POWER hybrid version, which offers much quicker acceleration. It's adequate for highway overtaking – safety comes first. In city driving, this speed difference isn't very noticeable.
