There is much to consider when shopping for a new vehicle in Richmond, but performance is paramount. It determines the practical appeal of the vehicle in terms of how fast it can accelerate and how easily it can turn and brake, but that also plays into how fun it is to drive the vehicle, which also matters. The more Midlothian and Newport News drivers learn about the performance of a model in advance, the faster you can decide if it is worth a closer look or if you can discard it for a different model of interest.
What is Performance?
Performance starts with engine power but doesn't end there. Power comes from horsepower and torque, and more power means more acceleration and more force available for towing or hauling. However, acceleration also depends on things like the engine's weight and the vehicle, whether or not the engine has a supercharger or turbocharger, and overall engine design. The performance also depends on the handling, cornering, and braking, which don't have objective measurements like horsepower but still play a key role in how the vehicle performs and how well you can control it. Other aspects of performance include the fuel efficiency of the drivetrain, ride comfort, and the ability of the vehicle to manage rough road conditions.
