Off the line, the Bmw 330e hits 100 km/h in 5.92 s versus 7.45 s for the Leon VZe. At this point, the Bmw 330e leads by 1.53 s and sits roughly 26 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Bmw 330e is doing 128 km/h against 126 km/h for the Leon VZe. The gap is 1.13 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Bmw 330e crosses the line in 14.23 s versus 15.41 s. The 1.18 s gap represents roughly 50 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Bmw 330e continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Bmw 330e finishes in 26.25 s versus 27.49 s, with a 1.23 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (230 vs 225 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Bmw 330e is capped at 230 km/h, the Leon VZe at 225 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.90 kg/hp vs 6.76 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.94 seconds. The 1.53 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.
