Comparing 0-to-60-mph and 5-to-60-mph acceleration-test results measures responsiveness and helps explain why a vehicle may feel quicker or slower than it is.
We used our 60-mph and 5-to-60-mph tests to determine the most and least responsive powertrains, illustrating a clear divide between turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines. The most responsive powertrains were the 1.2-liter three-cylinder in a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 and the 3.5-liter V-6 in a Honda Odyssey Elite.The least responsive powertrain was the turbo flat-four in a manual-transmission 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman T.
The worst performer was the Porsche 718 Cayman T, which packs a high-boostturbo 2.0-liter flat-four engine. The 2020 manual-equipped model we tested did the 60-mph launch in 4.4 seconds but was a full two seconds behind on the 5-to-60-mph run. Other laggy engines included a 2020 BMW M235i xDrive Gran Coupe and a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar P250 SE, both of which had a 1.8 second difference between the 60- and 5-to-60-mph times.
