Off the line, the Jazz e:HEV hits 100 km/h in 10.04 s versus 10.23 s for the Focus EcoBoost MHEV 125. At this point, the Jazz e:HEV leads by 0.19 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Jazz e:HEV is doing 107 km/h against 106 km/h for the Focus EcoBoost MHEV 125. The gap is 0.08 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Jazz e:HEV crosses the line in 17.34 s versus 17.47 s. The 0.13 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Jazz e:HEV maxes out at 175 km/h while the Focus EcoBoost MHEV 125 keeps accelerating towards 194 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.13 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Jazz e:HEV finishes in 31.87 s versus 31.88 s, with just 0.01 s to spare. The Focus EcoBoost MHEV 125 fails to fully close the launch gap.
Electronically capped at 175 km/h, the Jazz e:HEV 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 (10.85 kg/hp vs 10.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.18 seconds. The 0.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
