What is the actual 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Changan Uni-T?

According to official data, the Audi A6 comes with two engine displacements: 3.0T and 2.0T. The 3.0T model accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, while the 2.0T model takes between 7.5 and 8.3 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. The Audi R8 has a maximum torque of 570 Nm and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds. The Audi A6 3.0T has a torque of 500 Nm and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power delivery, inevitably involving 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 Audi A6 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). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Audi R8 has a power-to-weight ratio of 373 Hp/T and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds. The Audi A6 has a power-to-weight ratio of 171 Hp/T and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds.
I drove my friend's 2023 Changan UNI-T 1.5T Premium model, and personally tested its 0-100km/h acceleration to be around 8.6 seconds. That time, I specifically chose a dry asphalt road, turned off the air conditioning, and used the sport mode to build up revs before launching. The tires were the factory-fitted Continental MC6s, which offered good grip but had slight wheel spin. The car delivers noticeable thrust when the turbo kicks in during the initial stage, though it softens a bit in the mid-to-late stages. A fellow car enthusiast who modified the intake said it could break into the sub-8-second range, but in stock condition, it's more than sufficient for daily commuting and overtaking. When test driving at the dealership, remember to ask the salesperson to demonstrate the launch control function to get a more direct feel of its explosive power.
