Off the line, the SQ2 hits 100 km/h in 4.94 s versus 9.74 s for the Captur TCe 130 EDC. At this point, the SQ2 leads by 4.80 s and sits roughly 38 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ2 is doing 133 km/h against 111 km/h for the Captur TCe 130 EDC. The gap is 2.84 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ2 crosses the line in 13.47 s versus 17.32 s. The 3.85 s gap represents roughly 139 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the SQ2 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 190 km/h versus 152 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ2 finishes in 24.55 s versus 31.21 s, with a 6.66 s lead.
The SQ2 features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Captur TCe 130 EDC’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Electronically capped at 188 km/h, the Captur TCe 130 EDC never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.12 kg/hp vs 9.57 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.47 seconds. The 4.80 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
