Off the line, the 225d Convertible hits 100 km/h in 6.54 s versus 6.88 s for the Prius PHEV. Despite lacking instant torque, 224 hp of power compensates. The 0.34 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 225d Convertible is doing 127 km/h against 121 km/h for the Prius PHEV. The gap is 0.15 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 225d Convertible crosses the line in 14.76 s versus 15.09 s. The 0.33 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 225d Convertible continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 169 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 225d Convertible finishes in 26.79 s versus 27.46 s, with a 0.67 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (262 km/h), the Prius PHEV never recovers its launch deficit.
Electronically capped at 231 km/h, the 225d Convertible 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.22 seconds. The 0.34 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 225d Convertible F22 wins (6,54 s vs 6,88 s).
225d Convertible F22 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,54 seconds (calibrated simulation).
