Off the line, the Tang EV AWD 380kW hits 100 km/h in 4.39 s versus 9.90 s for the Jazz e:HEV. The instant torque of 700 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Tang EV AWD 380kW leads by 5.52 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Tang EV AWD 380kW is doing 147 km/h against 106 km/h for the Jazz e:HEV. The gap is 2.74 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Tang EV AWD 380kW crosses the line in 12.64 s versus 17.08 s. The 4.44 s gap represents roughly 150 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Tang EV AWD 380kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 142 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Tang EV AWD 380kW finishes in 24.64 s versus 31.95 s, with a 7.31 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 170 km/h), preventing any comeback.
The Tang EV AWD 380kW features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Jazz 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 are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Tang EV AWD 380kW is capped at 180 km/h, the Jazz e:HEV at 170 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.
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 17.33 seconds. The 5.52 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Tang EV AWD 380kW wins (4,38 s vs 9,90 s).
