Off the line, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 hits 100 km/h in 9.18 s versus 10.76 s for the Bmw 116i. At this point, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 leads by 1.58 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 is doing 113 km/h against 103 km/h for the Bmw 116i. The gap is 0.36 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 crosses the line in 16.76 s versus 17.65 s. The 0.89 s gap represents roughly 31 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 157 km/h versus 143 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 finishes in 30.23 s versus 32.38 s, with a 2.15 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (195 km/h), the Bmw 116i never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 is capped at 180 km/h, the Bmw 116i at 195 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.37 kg/hp vs 12.29 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 18.41 seconds. The 1.58 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
