Off the line, the Formentor hits 100 km/h in 8.94 s versus 10.21 s for the Kuga 2nd Gen EcoBoost 150. At this point, the Formentor leads by 1.27 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Formentor is doing 113 km/h against 105 km/h for the Kuga 2nd Gen EcoBoost 150. The gap is 0.49 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Formentor crosses the line in 16.67 s versus 17.56 s. The 0.89 s gap represents roughly 32 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Formentor continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 157 km/h versus 147 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Formentor finishes in 30.04 s versus 31.98 s, with a 1.94 s lead.
Electronically capped at 215 km/h, the Formentor 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.73 kg/hp vs 10.55 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.26 seconds. The 1.27 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
