2025 was a year full of bold performance claims, especially as electric and hybrid cars continued to flood Pakistan’s roads. Almost every owner believed their car was the quickest, but opinions don’t settle performance debates.
To cut through marketing claims and social media hype, PakWheels conducted controlled 0–100 km/h acceleration tests on 13 popular cars sold in Pakistan. From family hybrid SUVs to high-performance electric sedans, the results were revealing—and in some cases, genuinely shocking.
Let’s count down the fastest cars of 2025 — from slowest to outright champion.
13. Seres 3
The Seres 3 is a compact electric SUV aimed at city driving and efficiency. With 156 hp and 300 Nm of torque, its performance is tuned more for comfort than speed, resulting in a 0–100 km/h time of 11.75 seconds, placing it at the bottom of the list.
12. Kia Sorento HEV
A family-oriented hybrid 7- seater SUV, the Sorento HEV combined petrol and electric power for efficiency. Despite producing 238 hp and 367 Nm of torque, its weight held it back, with a 0–100 km/h time of 8.85 seconds.
11. Hyundai Tucson AWD
Designed as a refined compact SUV, the all-wheel-drive Tucson prioritizes grip and stability. With 232 hp and 367 Nm of torque, it achieved 0–100 km/h in 8.23 seconds, slightly slower due to the AWD system. The AWD system prioritises traction and stability but adds drivetrain losses, resulting in a slightly slower sprint.
10. Hyundai Tucson FWD
Sharing the same 232 hp and 367 Nm output, the front-wheel-drive Tucson benefits from reduced drivetrain losses. This helped it edge ahead with a 0–100 km/h time of 8.19 seconds.
9. BYD Atto 3
The Atto 3 is a tech-focused electric crossover that highlights instant EV torque. Producing 201 hp and 310 Nm, it delivered a respectable 0–100 km/h sprint in 7.66 seconds.
8. Kia Sportage L
The long-wheelbase Sportage L emphasizes space and refinement but still packs a punch. With 227 hp and 350 Nm of torque, it surprised many by completing 0–100 km/h in 7.53 seconds.
7. Hyundai Sonata N Line
A true driver-focused sport sedan, the Sonata N Line was the quickest petrol-powered car in the test. Generating 290 hp and 422 Nm of torque, it clocked 0–100 km/h in 6.22 seconds.
6. BYD Seal Premium
This sleek electric sedan balances performance with everyday usability. With 280 hp and 360 Nm, the Seal Premium managed a strong 0–100 km/h time of 6.05 seconds.
5. Riddara RD6 AWD
An unexpected performer, the RD6 is an electric pickup truck with serious torque. Producing 315 hp and 595 Nm, it shocked everyone by hitting 0–100 km/h in just 4.97 seconds.
4. Hyundai Ioniq 6
Built on Hyundai’s dedicated EV platform, the Ioniq 6 electric sedan focuses on aerodynamics and efficiency. Ioniq’s 325 hp and 605 Nm of torque launched it to 0–100 km/h in 4.56 seconds.
3. Haval H6 PHEV Hi-4
Haval H6 plug-in hybrid SUV blends electric torque with petrol power for explosive launches. With 360 hp and a massive 760 Nm of torque, it narrowly missed second place, recording 0–100 km/h in 4.55 seconds.
2. BYD Seal AWD
The dual-motor performance electric sedan packs serious firepower. Producing 523 hp and 670 Nm, the Seal AWD stormed from 0–100 km/h in 3.81 seconds, making it one of the quickest cars ever tested by PakWheels.
