Off the line, the Superb 2.0 TSI 220 7DSG hits 100 km/h in 6.59 s versus 7.41 s for the Atto 3 Extended Range. Despite lacking instant torque, 220 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Superb 2.0 TSI 220 7DSG leads by 0.82 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Superb 2.0 TSI 220 7DSG is doing 128 km/h against 121 km/h for the Atto 3 Extended Range. The gap is 0.48 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Superb 2.0 TSI 220 7DSG crosses the line in 14.75 s versus 15.57 s. The 0.81 s gap represents roughly 33 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Superb 2.0 TSI 220 7DSG continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 179 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Superb 2.0 TSI 220 7DSG finishes in 26.51 s versus 29.19 s, with a 2.69 s lead.
Electronically capped at 160 km/h, the Atto 3 Extended Range 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 11.71 seconds. The 0.82 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Superb 2.0 TSI 220 7DSG wins (6,59 s vs 7,41 s).
