Off the line, the 600e 156 hits 100 km/h in 8.92 s versus 9.90 s for the Jazz e:HEV. The instant torque of 260 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. Despite the faster sprint time, the Jazz e:HEV is 8 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Jazz e:HEV is doing 106 km/h against 115 km/h for the 600e 156. The gap is 0.12 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 600e 156 crosses the line in 16.73 s versus 17.08 s. The 0.35 s gap represents roughly 13 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the 600e 156 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 150 km/h versus 142 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 600e 156 finishes in 31.23 s versus 31.95 s, with a 0.72 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (170 km/h), the Jazz e:HEV never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 600e 156 is capped at 150 km/h, the Jazz e:HEV at 170 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.33 seconds. The 0.98 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 600e 156 wins (8,92 s vs 9,90 s).
