What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the Atenza 2.0?

According to official data, the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the Atenza 2.0 model is 8.6 seconds. 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, naturally resulting in faster acceleration. The latest Accord has a maximum torque of 260 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.4 seconds, while the Atenza 2.0 has a maximum torque of 202 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.6 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for transferring power, inevitably involving power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Atenza 2.0 is equipped with a 6-speed automatic manual 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 Passat has a power-to-weight ratio of 102 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.1 seconds, while the Atenza 2.0 has a power-to-weight ratio of 104 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.6 seconds.
I've been driving a Mazda Atenza 2.0 for almost five years, with an actual measured 0-100 km/h acceleration time of around 9 seconds, typically between 9.1 to 9.3 seconds. For city commuting, it starts agilely, quickly keeping up as soon as the traffic light turns green without any lag. On the highway, when overtaking, the throttle responds decisively, making it easy to merge into traffic, and the engine feels powerful yet not abrupt. The car weighs about 1.4 tons, paired with the SkyActiv engine's 156 horsepower and a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering linear and smooth acceleration. For regular maintenance, I change the oil and filters every six months to keep the transmission smooth, ensuring the acceleration remains as good as new. Occasionally, when fully loaded with family, the acceleration slows by only about half a second, still practical and safe. Overall, I'm very satisfied; it's well-suited for family and commuting needs.
