What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Haval H5?
2 Answers
The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Haval H5 is 12.46 seconds. Taking the 2018 Haval H5 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with a front track of 1522mm, rear track of 1530mm, fuel tank capacity of 70 liters, and a curb weight of 1740kg. The 2018 Haval H5 features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a five-link non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 190 PS, maximum power of 140 kW, and maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've test-driven the Haval H5 several times, and its 0-100 km/h acceleration time is roughly between 8.5 to 9.5 seconds, with the gasoline version being closer to 8.5 seconds. The vehicle is quite heavy, paired with a 2.0T engine, delivering stable and smooth power output. It doesn't have a particularly aggressive start, but the mid-range acceleration is quite impressive. For daily commuting or long-distance driving, the acceleration is sufficient for overtaking or highway demands—it's not as fast as a sports car, but it excels in reliability and durability. Factors affecting acceleration include the vehicle's weight and drivetrain optimization; for instance, the diesel version of the H5 accelerates slightly slower but offers greater torque, making it suitable for hauling cargo or climbing hills. As an owner, I place more emphasis on the overall experience—acceleration speed isn't the sole metric; what matters more is timely response, safety, and comfort.
