What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the old Mazda6?

The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the old Mazda6 is 9.7 seconds, which is a direct reflection of the car's power. Taking the 2015 Mazda6 manual model as an example, its body dimensions are: 4670 mm in length, 1780 mm in width, and 1435 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2675 mm. The 2015 Mazda6 manual model is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 147 hp, a maximum power of 108 kW, and a maximum power speed of 6500 rpm. It uses a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
I remember the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the old Mazda6 was quite flexible, depending largely on the engine and transmission configuration. For example, the 2004 model with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine paired with a manual transmission could do it in around 9.5 seconds, but switching to an automatic would drag it to about 10.5 seconds. I've driven this car before—its suspension was tuned for sportiness, giving a crisp takeoff feel, not as abrupt as today's turbocharged cars. The lightweight body design was well-executed, and acceleration felt more stable with good tire grip. Compared to the Civic of the same era, the Mazda6 handled more nimbly, though the Civic was slightly quicker in acceleration. Many in the car enthusiast community enjoy modifying it for better performance, but even in stock condition, its performance was quite solid. Regular engine maintenance helps maintain consistent acceleration.
