Puma EcoBoost 125 vs Jazz e:HEV: chronicle of a drag race at 184 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Jazz e:HEV hits 100 km/h in 9.90 s versus 9.92 s for the Puma EcoBoost 125. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Jazz e:HEV is doing 106 km/h against 107 km/h for the Puma EcoBoost 125. The gap is 0.30 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Jazz e:HEV crosses the line in 17.08 s versus 17.29 s. The 0.20 s gap represents roughly 7 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Jazz e:HEV maxes out at 170 km/h while the Puma EcoBoost 125 keeps accelerating towards 184 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.10 s.
Around 755 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Puma EcoBoost 125 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 14 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Puma EcoBoost 125 finishes in 31.78 s versus 31.95 s. The 0.16 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
What the numbers don’t tell you
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 (9.82 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 0.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Ford Puma EcoBoost 125 and Honda Jazz e:HEV are virtually tied to 100 km/h. The gap is under a tenth of a second — only the physics engine can settle it step by step.
