Off the line, the Jazz e:HEV hits 100 km/h in 9.90 s versus 10.51 s for the 116i. At this point, the Jazz e:HEV leads by 0.61 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Jazz e:HEV is doing 106 km/h against 104 km/h for the 116i. The gap is 0.36 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Jazz e:HEV crosses the line in 17.08 s versus 17.50 s. The 0.42 s gap represents roughly 15 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Jazz e:HEV maxes out at 170 km/h while the 116i keeps accelerating towards 200 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.39 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Jazz e:HEV finishes in 31.95 s versus 32.08 s, with just 0.13 s to spare. The 116i fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 116i is capped at 200 km/h, the Jazz e:HEV at 170 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 (12.11 kg/hp vs 11.18 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.85 seconds. The 0.61 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Jazz e:HEV wins (9,90 s vs 10,51 s).
116i F40 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 10,51 seconds (calibrated simulation).
