DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 vs CR-V: chronicle of a drag race at 245 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 hits 100 km/h in 7.76 s versus 8.67 s for the CR-V. At this point, the DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 leads by 0.91 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 is doing 126 km/h against 116 km/h for the CR-V. The gap is 0.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 crosses the line in 15.61 s versus 16.50 s. The 0.89 s gap represents roughly 35 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 178 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 finishes in 27.41 s versus 29.77 s, with a 2.37 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the CR-V 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 (6.49 kg/hp vs 8.74 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.59 seconds. The 0.91 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
DS DS4 PureTech 225 EAT8 has a clear edge over the Honda CR-V to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
