Off the line, the Jazz e:HEV hits 100 km/h in 9.90 s versus 10.23 s for the Focus EcoBoost MHEV 125. At this point, the Jazz e:HEV leads by 0.33 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Jazz e:HEV is doing 106 km/h against 106 km/h for the Focus EcoBoost MHEV 125. The gap is 0.44 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Jazz e:HEV crosses the line in 17.08 s versus 17.47 s. The 0.38 s gap represents roughly 14 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Jazz e:HEV maxes out at 170 km/h while the Focus EcoBoost MHEV 125 keeps accelerating towards 194 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.27 s.
Around 935 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Focus EcoBoost MHEV 125 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 24 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Focus EcoBoost MHEV 125 finishes in 31.88 s versus 31.95 s. The 0.06 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Electronically capped at 170 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 11.18 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.33 seconds. The 0.33 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
