Off the line, the Leon VZe hits 100 km/h in 7.45 s versus 11.23 s for the Bmw 216d. The instant torque of 350 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Leon VZe leads by 3.78 s and sits roughly 27 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Leon VZe is doing 126 km/h against 105 km/h for the Bmw 216d. The gap is 1.78 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Leon VZe crosses the line in 15.41 s versus 18.21 s. The 2.80 s gap represents roughly 97 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Leon VZe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 174 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Leon VZe finishes in 27.49 s versus 32.65 s, with a 5.16 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Leon VZe is capped at 225 km/h, the Bmw 216d at 195 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 18.17 seconds. The 3.78 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
