Off the line, the ID.3 Pro hits 100 km/h in 7.35 s versus 7.54 s for the Leon e-Hybrid. At this point, the ID.3 Pro leads by 0.19 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the ID.3 Pro is doing 121 km/h against 125 km/h for the Leon e-Hybrid. The gap is 0.22 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Leon e-Hybrid crosses the line in 15.48 s versus 15.50 s. The 0.02 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the Leon e-Hybrid continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 174 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Leon e-Hybrid finishes in 27.56 s versus 29.13 s, with a 1.57 s lead.
On paper, the Leon e-Hybrid combines 241 hp, 350 Nm and 1,630 kg - a clear theoretical edge over the ID.3 Pro. Yet the ID.3 Pro launches quicker. At standstill, both motors deliver peak torque from 0 rpm: the decisive factor is no longer raw power, but available grip. If the ID.3 Pro has a better traction coefficient (tyres, weight distribution, traction control calibration), it puts down more force despite inferior specs - exactly what the simulation reflects, calibrated on manufacturer 0-100 km/h times.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Leon e-Hybrid is capped at 225 km/h, the ID.3 Pro 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.76 kg/hp vs 8.82 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.71 seconds. The 0.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, ID.3 Pro wins (7,35 s vs 7,54 s).
Leon e-Hybrid goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,54 seconds (calibrated simulation).
