Why is the City so fast in acceleration?
2 Answers
The City accelerates quickly because it uses the Earth Dreams small CVT, with performance parameters of maximum power 96.0kw/6600rpm and maximum torque 155Nm/4600rpm. Automobile acceleration performance: Includes the standing start acceleration time and overtaking acceleration time of the car. Standing start acceleration time: Refers to the time required for the car to accelerate from a standstill, starting in first gear and shifting up through the gears at maximum acceleration intensity (including selecting the most appropriate shift timing) until reaching a predetermined distance speed or vehicle speed.
I've always thought the City's quick acceleration is mainly due to its excellent engine design, which features an efficient fuel injection system that can instantly deliver strong power. Paired with the CVT transmission, the acceleration process is exceptionally smooth, without any jerking, making the car respond immediately when you step on the gas. Additionally, the body structure uses lightweight materials, keeping the overall weight of the car low and reducing resistance during startup, which naturally results in faster acceleration. I've driven it a few times, and overtaking in the city is particularly effortless—just press the accelerator, and it zooms forward, making it perfect for quick lane changes in traffic jams. However, it's worth noting that while quick acceleration is great, safety should always come first—avoid speeding in crowded areas. For maintenance, regular oil changes can ensure the engine remains efficient and prevents performance degradation. The City's design is indeed quite smart, balancing speed and economy in the compact car segment, making it a joy to drive daily for commuting.
