What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the Corolla Hybrid?

According to official data, the Corolla Hybrid E+ has a displacement of 1.8L and achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 11.7 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time include: 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. For comparison, the Levin Hybrid E+ in the same class has a maximum torque of 142 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 11.18 seconds. The Corolla Hybrid E+ also has a torque of 142 Nm but achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 11.7 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power delivery, inevitably involving 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 Corolla Hybrid E+ is equipped with an electronic continuously variable transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is referred to as the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. For comparison, the Levin Hybrid E+ in the same class has a power-to-weight ratio of 66 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 11.18 seconds. The Corolla Hybrid E+ has a power-to-weight ratio of 65 Hp/T and achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 11.7 seconds.
I used to drive a Corolla Hybrid for a while, and felt its acceleration performance was quite in line with its family car positioning. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is about 11.2 seconds. In actual driving, the electric motor responds particularly quickly during initial acceleration - it only takes just over 3 seconds to go from 0-50 km/h, so I never lose at traffic light starts. However, the mid-to-late stage acceleration becomes noticeably more moderate, and you can hear the buzzing sound of the engine engaging when you floor the throttle. I'd suggest not obsessing too much about these numbers - after all, the focus of hybrid cars is on fuel efficiency. In my daily driving, I only get 4.5L/100km fuel consumption, which is much more practical than shaving a few tenths of a second off acceleration times.
