Duster Hybrid 140 vs Jazz e:HEV: chronicle of a drag race at 175 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Duster Hybrid 140 hits 100 km/h in 9.99 s versus 10.04 s for the Jazz e:HEV. The 0.05 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Jazz e:HEV is doing 107 km/h against 110 km/h for the Duster Hybrid 140. The gap is 0.15 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Jazz e:HEV crosses the line in 17.34 s versus 17.37 s. The 0.03 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Duster Hybrid 140 maxes out at 170 km/h while the Jazz e:HEV keeps accelerating towards 175 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.15 s.
Around 445 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Duster Hybrid 140 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 5 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Duster Hybrid 140 finishes in 31.36 s versus 31.87 s. The 0.51 s delta in favour of the Duster Hybrid 140 shows that top speed makes a clear difference.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Duster Hybrid 140 is capped at 170 km/h, the Jazz e:HEV at 175 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.89 kg/hp vs 10.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.76 seconds. The 0.05 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Honda Jazz e:HEV is slightly faster than the Dacia Duster Hybrid 140 to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
