What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the 2021 Elantra?
1 Answers
According to official data, the 2021 Elantra comes in two models: 1.4T and 1.5L. The 1.4T model accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.5 seconds, while the 1.5L model takes 12.3 seconds. 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 applied to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The maximum torque of the Veloster is 250 Nm, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.7 seconds. The 2021 Elantra 1.4T has a torque of 211 Nm and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.5 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power delivery and inevitably involves power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The 2021 Elantra 1.4T is equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch 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. The Veloster has a power-to-weight ratio of 137 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.7 seconds. The 2021 Elantra 1.4T has a power-to-weight ratio of 110 Hp/T and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.5 seconds.
