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

According to official data, the Xingyue comes with two engine options: 2.0T and 1.5T. The 1.5T model accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 11.1 seconds, while the 2.0T model achieves it in 6.85 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time include: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents the strength of the engine. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. For example, the BMW X2 has a maximum torque of 220 Nm and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds. The Xingyue 1.5T has a torque of 255 Nm but accelerates in 11.1 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power transfer and inevitably involves 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 Xingyue 1.5T is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch 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 has a power-to-weight ratio of 90 Hp/T and accelerates in 9.6 seconds. The Xingyue 1.5T has a power-to-weight ratio of 109 Hp/T but accelerates in 11.1 seconds.
I remember checking the data when driving the Xingyue. Its 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the fuel version is about 7.9 seconds, which doesn’t sound fast, but it’s actually quite powerful for city starts or highway overtaking. Key factors affecting acceleration include engine power—for instance, the 1.5T turbocharged engine delivers high torque at low RPMs, making the car responsive. Vehicle weight also plays a role; SUVs are generally heavy, but the Xingyue uses lightweight materials to reduce some burden. Compared to the plug-in hybrid version, the hybrid model is faster, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of around 4.9 seconds, thanks to the motor’s smoother power assistance. In daily driving, the 7-second-plus speed is stable yet offers a bit of excitement. However, it’s worth reminding to regularly check tire wear for grip and change the engine oil to maintain lubrication, avoiding sluggish acceleration.
