What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Cruze?
2 Answers
The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Cruze varies depending on the model: 1. The 1.0T model has an acceleration time of 11.87 seconds; 2. The 1.3T model has an acceleration time of 8.42 seconds. Taking the 2020 Cruze as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4614mm, width 1798mm, height 1485mm, wheelbase 2640mm, and curb weight 1225kg. The 2020 Cruze features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, with a front-wheel-drive layout.
The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Cruze varies significantly depending on the version. Generally, the 1.3T turbo engine model can accelerate to around 9 seconds, while the 1.5L naturally aspirated version may take 11 to 12 seconds. I've test-driven the 1.3T model several times, and the throttle response provides a strong sense of push-back, making quick starts from zero to 100 km/h and overtaking effortless, especially useful in congested traffic. Acceleration performance is also influenced by vehicle weight and transmission; automatic transmissions respond faster, while manual transmissions are a bit slower. In terms of safety, the moderate acceleration avoids being too aggressive, which helps prevent instability issues for novice drivers. For daily driving, this acceleration time is sufficient for starting at traffic lights and merging on highways, with occasional opportunities for a little spirited driving. However, remember that regular engine maintenance ensures stable and efficient acceleration over time.
