i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V vs Tipo 1.4 100 6M: chronicle of a drag race at 194 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V hits 100 km/h in 10.21 s versus 11.80 s for the Tipo 1.4 100 6M. At this point, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V leads by 1.59 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V is doing 111 km/h against 103 km/h for the Tipo 1.4 100 6M. The gap is 0.61 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V crosses the line in 17.62 s versus 18.72 s. The 1.10 s gap represents roughly 39 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 153 km/h versus 143 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V finishes in 31.39 s versus 33.43 s, with a 2.05 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (194 vs 192 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.29 kg/hp vs 12.13 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.43 seconds. The 1.59 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Hyundai i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V has a clear edge over the Fiat Tipo 1.4 100 6M to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
