Fuel economy is posted at 10.5 kmpl city and 15.4kmpl highway

So 16.5 seconds or 18.3 seconds. Either way that translates to "painfully slow."
To put that in perspective, a 1981 Plymouth Reliant (2.2 Auto) went 0-60 mph in 14.0 seconds. Ugh. No I'm serious look here:
"Plymouth, Pontiac, Porsche" 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for Factory Stock Vehicles
So, I would hope that this little truck would be in the 8 to 10 second range. Otherwise, hauling any kind of weight or towing a trailer would knock this thing on it's arse.
