What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the 1.4T Fista?
2 Answers
According to official data, the Fista is available in two engine displacements: 1.4T and 1.6T. The 1.4T Fista model has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.6 seconds, while the 1.6T Fista model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds. The factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, indicates how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The 1.4T Fista has a maximum torque of 242 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.6 seconds. The 1.6T Fista has a maximum torque of 265 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.7 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission serves as the medium for transferring power, 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 1.4T Fista is equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is referred to as the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The 1.4T Fista has a power-to-weight ratio of 99 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.6 seconds. The 1.6T Fista has a power-to-weight ratio of 145 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.7 seconds.
As a long-time user of this car, I think the Fista 1.4T has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of around 8.5 seconds. Whether driving in the city or on the highway, the initial response is very timely, making overtaking and lane changes effortless, especially when paired with the manual or automatic transmission—it feels very smooth. The fuel consumption is also quite economical, around 7-8 liters per 100 km in the city, which makes my daily commute much more worry-free. After the break-in period, the acceleration can improve slightly, but be aware that it may slow down a bit on rainy or slippery roads. Overall, the reliability is good; I’ve driven it for two years without any major issues, making it suitable for family use or new drivers. I recommend regular engine maintenance to maintain performance stability. While the acceleration time may not be top-tier, it’s more than adequate for daily needs.
