What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the 2.5L Alphard?

According to official data, the 2.5L Alphard model has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.3 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque generally indicates how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The Vellfire Crown Hybrid Luxury Edition has a maximum torque of 198 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 10 seconds. The Alphard Hybrid Luxury Edition has a maximum torque of 198 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.3 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for transferring power, inevitably involving power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the 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 BMW 330's transmission is an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit is Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Vellfire Crown Hybrid Luxury Edition has a power-to-weight ratio of 52 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 10 seconds. The Alphard Hybrid Luxury Edition has a power-to-weight ratio of 52 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.3 seconds.
Let me elaborate on this. The official 0-100km/h acceleration time for the 2.5L hybrid Alphard hasn't been released, but real-world tests generally show results hovering around 9.5 seconds. For an MPV, acceleration isn't the strong suit anyway - the focus is on smoothness and quietness. The hybrid system delivers noticeable torque when using electric drive at low speeds, but becomes more relaxed in higher speed ranges. I recall a car enthusiast once recorded 8.8 seconds in an unloaded test, but with seven passengers onboard, it reliably exceeds 10 seconds. Let's be honest - who buying this car really cares about acceleration? People mainly choose it for the second-row airline-style seats' comfort and the hybrid's fuel efficiency. The electric motor makes city driving particularly nimble when it kicks in. But if you're looking for performance driving, I'd suggest checking out sportier MPV models from other brands.
