Off the line, the Han EV AWD 380kW hits 100 km/h in 3.86 s versus 8.04 s for the Civic e:HEV. The instant torque of 680 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Han EV AWD 380kW leads by 4.18 s and sits roughly 28 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Han EV AWD 380kW is doing 154 km/h against 121 km/h for the Civic e:HEV. The gap is 2.87 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Han EV AWD 380kW crosses the line in 12.05 s versus 15.94 s. The 3.89 s gap represents roughly 153 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Han EV AWD 380kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 171 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Han EV AWD 380kW finishes in 24.04 s versus 28.45 s, with a 4.40 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 180 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The Han EV AWD 380kW features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Civic e:HEV’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Han EV AWD 380kW and the Civic e:HEV are governed to 180 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
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 12.00 seconds. The 4.18 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Han EV AWD 380kW wins (3,86 s vs 8,04 s).
