What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Peugeot 508L 1.8T?
2 Answers
According to official data, the Peugeot 508L's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 7.23 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is applied to propel the vehicle, resulting in naturally faster acceleration. The 508L's 0-100 km/h acceleration is 7.23 seconds with a maximum torque of 300 Nm, while the hybrid version of the Accord has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.5 seconds with a maximum torque of 175 Nm. Transmission efficiency: The transmission serves as the medium for power delivery and inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Peugeot 508L is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is referred to as the power-to-weight ratio (unit is Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The 508L's 0-100 km/h acceleration is 7.23 seconds with a power-to-weight ratio of 127 Hp/T, while the hybrid version of the Accord has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.5 seconds with a power-to-weight ratio of 140 Hp/T.
I previously drove a Peugeot 508L 1.8T, and felt that the car had a very stable start. It wasn't particularly fast but was more than adequate for family use. The official data claims a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of about 8.2 seconds, but in reality, it might slow down to around 9 seconds on rainy or slippery roads, while on dry sunny roads, it can dip below 8 seconds. The 1.8-liter turbocharged engine delivers 211 horsepower, with smooth power delivery and satisfying mid-range acceleration. The car doesn't offer strong push-back sensations but overtaking is effortless. Fuel consumption is reasonable, averaging 8-9 liters in the city and even less on highways. Overall, it's comfortable to drive, with suspension that's neither too soft nor too firm, effectively smoothing out bumps, making it ideal for commuting or long-distance travel. Compared to competitors like the Volkswagen Magotan, it's slightly slower in acceleration but offers a more stable ride quality, and with a reasonable price, it's a good value for money.
