What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the 10th generation Accord 1.5T?
2 Answers
According to official data, the 10th generation Accord only has one 1.5T displacement option, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.2 seconds for the 1.5T model. The factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The Altima has a maximum torque of 371 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds. The 10th generation Accord's 1.5T turbocharged engine delivers 194 horsepower and a maximum torque of 260 Nm, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.2 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 Altima 2.0T uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT). 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 Alt
I've driven the 10th-generation Accord 1.5T version, whose official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is around 7.6 seconds. However, actual tests show it can vary between 7.5 to 8.2 seconds depending on road conditions and tire wear. Personally, I found it exceptionally smooth during my urban expressway tests, especially when the turbo kicks in—the thrust feels exhilarating, completely unlike what you'd expect from a small-displacement car. This is thanks to Honda's engine tuning and the responsive CVT transmission. While it may lack the explosive power of some sportier models, it's perfectly practical for daily driving, particularly when overtaking on highways where it completes maneuvers quickly, enhancing driving safety. I also make sure to maintain proper tire pressure and regular engine maintenance—these small details help sustain stable performance and prevent acceleration lag due to wear. Overall, if you're an owner who values smooth efficiency, this acceleration time is quite satisfying.
