What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Mazda CX-4?

According to official data, the Mazda CX-4 comes with two engine displacements: 2.0L and 2.5L. The 2.0L version accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 10.5 seconds, while the 2.5L version does it in 9.5 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force the engine can produce. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The Mazda 2.5L engine has a maximum torque of 252 Nm, achieving 0-100 km/h in 9.5 seconds. The Mazda CX-4 2.0L has a maximum torque of 202 Nm, with a 0-100 km/h time of 10.5 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involving 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 Mazda CX-4 is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The Mazda 2.5L has a power-to-weight ratio of 125 Hp/T, achieving 0-100 km/h in 9.5 seconds. The Mazda CX-4 2.0L has a power-to-weight ratio of 106 Hp/T, with a 0-100 km/h time of 10.5 seconds.
My CX-4 is the 2.0L version, with official data showing a 0-100km/h acceleration time of around 10 seconds. It feels perfectly adequate for daily city driving - the initial acceleration is quite brisk, and the transmission responds quickly. When overtaking on highways, flooring the accelerator makes the engine revs soar, and the sound is quite exhilarating. The 2.5L version would be faster, achieving it in about 8 seconds. Mazda cars provide very linear acceleration, unlike turbocharged cars that give sudden bursts of power, making them very comfortable for daily commuting. Recently on suburban roads, the fuel consumption was just over 7L/100km - trading some acceleration for better fuel efficiency isn't bad. If you really want to race, you'd be better off with a hot hatch. This car is more about enjoying the feeling of unity between driver and machine.
