Leon e-Hybrid vs e:Ny1: chronicle of a drag race at 225 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Leon e-Hybrid hits 100 km/h in 7.54 s versus 7.76 s for the e:Ny1. Despite lacking instant torque, 241 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Leon e-Hybrid leads by 0.22 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Leon e-Hybrid is doing 125 km/h against 122 km/h for the e:Ny1. The gap is 0.15 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 15.82 s. The 0.34 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
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 29.40 s, with a 1.85 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Leon e-Hybrid is capped at 225 km/h, the e:Ny1 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.
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 11.83 seconds. The 0.22 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Cupra Leon e-Hybrid is slightly faster than the Honda e:Ny1 to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
