Off the line, the Han EV AWD 380kW hits 100 km/h in 3.86 s versus 7.54 s for the Megane E-Tech Electric 217. At this point, the Han EV AWD 380kW leads by 3.68 s and sits roughly 27 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Han EV AWD 380kW is doing 154 km/h against 124 km/h for the Megane E-Tech Electric 217. The gap is 2.59 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 15.61 s. The 3.57 s gap represents roughly 142 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 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Han EV AWD 380kW finishes in 24.04 s versus 29.16 s, with a 5.12 s lead.
The Han EV AWD 380kW features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Megane E-Tech Electric 217’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 are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Han EV AWD 380kW is capped at 180 km/h, the Megane E-Tech Electric 217 at 160 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.22 kg/hp vs 7.80 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.36 seconds. The 3.68 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 7,54 s).
Han EV AWD 380kW goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,86 seconds (calibrated simulation).
