DS9 E-Tense 250 vs Ranger Wildtrak EcoBlue 213: chronicle of a drag race at 235 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the DS9 E-Tense 250 hits 100 km/h in 8.36 s versus 9.86 s for the Ranger Wildtrak EcoBlue 213. At this point, the DS9 E-Tense 250 leads by 1.50 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the DS9 E-Tense 250 is doing 121 km/h against 111 km/h for the Ranger Wildtrak EcoBlue 213. The gap is 0.73 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the DS9 E-Tense 250 crosses the line in 16.22 s versus 17.44 s. The 1.22 s gap represents roughly 46 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the DS9 E-Tense 250 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 153 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the DS9 E-Tense 250 finishes in 28.57 s versus 31.20 s, with a 2.63 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 178 km/h, the Ranger Wildtrak EcoBlue 213 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 (7.51 kg/hp vs 9.42 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.45 seconds. The 1.50 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
DS DS9 E-Tense 250 has a clear edge over the Ford Ranger Wildtrak EcoBlue 213 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
