Sandero Stepway Hybrid 140 vs Yaris Hybrid: chronicle of a drag race at 184 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 9.44 s for the Yaris Hybrid. The 0.08 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Sandero Stepway Hybrid 140 is doing 114 km/h against 114 km/h for the Yaris Hybrid. The gap is 0.16 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Sandero Stepway Hybrid 140 crosses the line in 16.97 s versus 17.13 s. The 0.15 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track — barely a car length.
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 154 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Sandero Stepway Hybrid 140 finishes in 30.46 s versus 30.86 s, with a 0.40 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (170 vs 184 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 170 km/h, the Sandero Stepway Hybrid 140 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor — it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.03 kg/hp vs 9.18 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.77 seconds. The 0.08 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 Toyota Yaris Hybrid to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
