What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Buick Excelle?
1 Answers
According to official data, the Excelle is available with two engine options: a 1.3T and a 1.5L. The 1.3T model achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.8 seconds, while the 1.5L model takes 12.87 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time include: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents the force available. Greater torque means more force to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The Excelle's 0-100 km/h time is 8.8 seconds with a maximum torque of 230 Nm, whereas the Elantra achieves 5.3 seconds with 143 Nm. Transmission efficiency: The transmission, as the medium for power delivery, 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 Excelle is equipped with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is known as the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in quicker acceleration. The Excelle's 0-100 km/h time is 8.8 seconds with a power-to-weight ratio of 118 Hp/T, while the Elantra achieves 5.3 seconds with 217 Hp/T.
