Bmw 320d vs Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160: chronicle of a drag race at 235 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Bmw 320d hits 100 km/h in 6.92 s versus 8.73 s for the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160. At this point, the Bmw 320d leads by 1.81 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Bmw 320d is doing 119 km/h against 114 km/h for the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160. The gap is 1.15 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 320d crosses the line in 15.02 s versus 16.39 s. The 1.38 s gap represents roughly 52 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 320d continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 166 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 320d finishes in 27.72 s versus 29.70 s, with a 1.98 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 320d is capped at 235 km/h, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 at 180 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 (8.11 kg/hp vs 8.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.81 seconds. The 1.81 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Bmw 320d has a clear edge over the Renault Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
