What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the 1.3T Excelle?

[DelAna]

The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Buick Excelle 1.3T version is 8.3 seconds. The Buick Excelle is a compact sedan launched by Buick. In terms of power: This car is equipped with 1.0T and 1.3T engines. The 1.0T engine has a maximum power of 92 kW and a maximum torque of 170 Nm, while the 1.3T engine has a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. In terms of the transmission system: The engines are paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. Although the car's power performance is not extremely strong, it can meet daily driving needs.

I remember testing the 0-100km/h acceleration of the 1.3T Excelle before, which was around 9.2-9.8 seconds. This car's small-displacement turbocharged engine delivers 163 horsepower, with ample low-end torque—peak torque kicks in at just 1,500 rpm. During my test on dry pavement with the AC off, the front wheels experienced slight wheelspin during a launch start. The transmission shifts aren't particularly fast, but shifts smoothly, though acceleration tapers off somewhat in the mid-to-high speed range. Compared to the similarly priced Corolla 1.2T, it's about half a second quicker, but noticeably slower than the Civic 1.5T. For daily driving, it's perfectly adequate for starts and overtaking, though it falls short if you're after true performance. Real-world acceleration is quite temperature-sensitive—with AC on and a full load in summer, it can be over a second slower.

I've been driving the 1.3T Excelle for almost two years now, and I feel the car is quite nimble in initial acceleration. The 0-100 km/h time is around 9 seconds, depending on test conditions. Once I measured it myself with a phone app on an empty road at about 30°C with five people on board, and it took just over 10 seconds. When driving alone, it can break into the sub-10-second range. The three-cylinder engine's vibration control is decent, but the engine noise becomes quite noticeable when you floor the accelerator. The transmission's shift logic during hard acceleration could be optimized, as there's a brief power gap of a few tenths of a second. Compared to my friend's 1.5L naturally aspirated Excelle, the 1.3T has significantly more power. With performance tires, the launch grip would be even better.

The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the 1.3T Excelle is around 9 seconds, which feels accurate in real-world driving. This car never falls behind when starting from traffic lights, thanks to its responsive throttle pedal in the initial stage. I've noticed that tire pressure slightly affects acceleration—higher pressure shaves off a few tenths of a second. The transmission responds quicker in Sport mode, while Normal mode feels more laid-back. The engine's biggest strength is its brisk low-to-mid-range response, delivering prompt acceleration up to 80 km/h. However, it lacks punch for highway overtaking, with acceleration tapering off past 100 km/h. Its acceleration outperforms the 1.6L Sylphy but trails the Civic, landing in the 'adequate yet unremarkable' category.

I've tested the acceleration of the Buick Excelle 1.3T several times, with the best result being 9.3 seconds. A few tips to note: turning off ESP can reduce electronic system interference, using Sport mode helps maintain high RPM, and starting at around 2000 RPM prevents wheelspin. The car has a strong initial push, but the power delivery between second and third gear isn't as smooth. The transmission tuning leans towards fuel efficiency, so downshifts aren't very aggressive. Acceleration is noticeably quicker in cold weather; once, I achieved 9.1 seconds at 5°C. The factory-fitted eco tires have average grip, so upgrading to better tires could shave off a few tenths of a second. For its price range, the acceleration is above average, fitting its family car positioning.

The 1.3T Excelle's 0-100 km/h acceleration test result is approximately 9.5 seconds, delivering a solid power feel during driving. I particularly noticed that load significantly affects performance—every additional 100 kg slows acceleration by about 0.3 seconds. The turbo kicks in at 1500 rpm, providing noticeable torque even at low speeds with light throttle input. Post-break-in, the engine performs better, and after the first maintenance, my acceleration test showed a 0.2-second improvement over the brand-new condition. The transmission's protective program limits launch RPM, so there's little advantage in power braking starts. Below 60 km/h in urban driving, acceleration is responsive—more than adequate for daily use though not performance-oriented. It strikes a good balance between fuel efficiency and power, making it perfectly suited for routine commuting.
