What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the RAV4?
1 Answers
According to official data, the RAV4 comes with two engine options: 2.0L and 2.5L. The 2.0L model accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 12.49 seconds, while the 2.5L model does it in 10.58 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time include: Torque: Torque represents the rotational force of the engine. Higher torque means greater force to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. For example, the BMW X2 with 220 Nm of torque accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds, while the RAV4 2.0L with 209 Nm takes 12.49 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a 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 RAV4 2.0L is equipped with a CVT 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. For instance, the BMW X2 with a 90 Hp/T ratio accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds, while the RAV4 2.0L with a 111 Hp/T ratio takes 12.49 seconds.
