Off the line, the Dolphin Boost 150kW hits 100 km/h in 6.93 s versus 8.18 s for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. At this point, the Dolphin Boost 150kW leads by 1.25 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW is doing 126 km/h against 115 km/h for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. The gap is 0.45 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Dolphin Boost 150kW crosses the line in 15.13 s versus 16.11 s. The 0.98 s gap represents roughly 37 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 154 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW finishes in 28.66 s versus 29.80 s, with a 1.14 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (211 km/h), the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 never recovers its launch deficit.
Electronically capped at 160 km/h, the Dolphin Boost 150kW 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.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.30 kg/hp vs 10.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.65 seconds. The 1.25 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.
