Sandero Stepway 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 Sandero Stepway Hybrid 140 hits 100 km/h in 9.36 s versus 10.04 s for the Jazz e:HEV. Despite the faster sprint time, the Jazz e:HEV is 2 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Sandero Stepway Hybrid 140 is doing 114 km/h against 107 km/h for the Jazz e:HEV. The gap is 0.04 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Sandero Stepway Hybrid 140 crosses the line in 16.97 s versus 17.34 s. The 0.36 s gap represents roughly 13 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Sandero Stepway Hybrid 140 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 157 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Sandero Stepway Hybrid 140 finishes in 30.46 s versus 31.87 s, with a 1.40 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (170 vs 175 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Sandero Stepway 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 (9.03 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 0.68 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Dacia Sandero Stepway Hybrid 140 is slightly faster than the Honda Jazz e:HEV to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
