508 PureTech 180 EAT8 vs Kuga EcoBoost 150: chronicle of a drag race at 238 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 hits 100 km/h in 8.32 s versus 9.69 s for the Kuga EcoBoost 150. At this point, the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 leads by 1.37 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 is doing 119 km/h against 107 km/h for the Kuga EcoBoost 150. The gap is 0.42 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 crosses the line in 16.20 s versus 17.21 s. The 1.01 s gap represents roughly 37 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 167 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 finishes in 28.78 s versus 31.29 s, with a 2.51 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.32 kg/hp vs 10.71 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.19 seconds. The 1.37 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Peugeot 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 has a clear edge over the Ford Kuga EcoBoost 150 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
