What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the 2.5G Camry?
3 Answers
The 2.5G Camry Luxury trim takes 8.8 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. It is equipped with a transverse 2.5L naturally aspirated engine (model A25A/A25C), delivering a maximum power of 154 kW and a peak torque of 250 N·m at 5000 rpm. The Camry is a mid-size sedan under Toyota, with a wheelbase of 2825 mm, and dimensions of 4885 mm in length, 1840 mm in width, and 1455 mm in height. Factors affecting the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the 2.5G Camry Luxury trim are as follows: Torque: Torque, in layman's terms, represents the strength of the engine. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The 2.5G Camry Luxury trim has a maximum torque of 250 N·m at 5000 rpm. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a 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 2.5G Camry Luxury trim is equipped with an 8-speed automatic 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 2.5G Camry Luxury trim has a power-to-weight ratio of 132 Hp/T, enabling it to achieve a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.8 seconds.
I've been driving the Camry 2.5G for two years now. The official 0-100 acceleration time isn't specified, but my actual tests show it's around 8.5 seconds. In summer with AC on in city driving, it takes a bit over 9 seconds, while in cooler winter conditions it can reach 8.3 seconds. The power tuning is more family-oriented - if you press the throttle too hard at launch, the front wheels tend to slip. The mid-range acceleration is quite smooth though. The transmission shifts very intelligently, and in sport mode it's about half a second quicker. Tires make a big difference in acceleration - the stock eco tires have average grip, but switching to performance tires noticeably improves launch. This performance is mid-range among cars in the same price bracket, but Camry buyers care more about fuel efficiency and reliability - after all, it only consumes 7L per 100km.
Just accompanied a friend to test drive the new Camry 2.5G a couple of days ago. The salesperson said the acceleration is around 8 seconds. We used a mobile app to measure it three times: first attempt with full throttle start had some wheel spin, 9.1 seconds; second attempt with pre-warmed tires and sport mode got 8.4 seconds; third attempt with AC on and two passengers, 8.9 seconds. The power delivery is very linear - not strong pushback feeling but sufficient for overtaking. The transmission tuning is quite stable, not particularly aggressive with downshifts during hard acceleration, making it more suitable for daily commuting. Compared to the Accord 1.5T I drove last year, the Camry is slightly slower in acceleration but offers a more comfortable ride quality with significantly less bumpiness over speed bumps.
