What is the 0 to 100 time of Ford Freestyle?

The Ford Freestyle’s 0–100 km/h times depend on the engine and market, but diesel variants tend to accelerate faster than petrol ones. In general, expect about 11–12 seconds for the diesel and roughly 12.5–13.5 seconds for the petrol, depending on transmission and conditions.


To understand those numbers in context, this article focuses on the common Freestyle configurations that were offered in markets where it was available, with emphasis on manual transmissions and typical weight, tires, and elevation conditions. Times can vary by model year, trim, and testing methodology.


Performance by engine


Engine options and typical 0–100 km/h figures



  • 1.5 L TDCi diesel (approximately 100 PS) with a 5-speed manual: 0–100 km/h around 11.0–11.5 seconds.

  • 1.2 L Ti-VCT petrol (approximately 95 PS) with a 5-speed manual: 0–100 km/h around 12.5–13.5 seconds.


Conclusion: The diesel variant delivers quicker acceleration thanks to higher torque at low revs, while the petrol version offers adequate daily usability with steadier, slower bursts of acceleration. Real-world results will vary based on load, tire choice, and driving conditions.


Market context and testing notes


These figures reflect common configurations in markets where the Freestyle was marketed, notably with manual transmissions. Ford did not universally publish a single global 0–100 km/h time for every market, and actual times can differ by year, trim, gearbox, and local specifications. If you need the precise figure for a specific car, consult the manufacturer’s official spec sheet or a recent road-test from the exact market and model year.


Summary


The Ford Freestyle’s acceleration is typical for a compact crossover with a small petrol engine and a stronger diesel option. Diesel versions typically reach 0–100 km/h in about 11–12 seconds, while petrol versions usually finish in roughly 12.5–13.5 seconds, with real-world results influenced by transmission, load, and testing conditions.
