Ranger Raptor V6 292 vs Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245: chronicle of a drag race at 230 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 hits 100 km/h in 5.95 s versus 7.42 s for the Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245. At this point, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 leads by 1.47 s and sits roughly 25 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 is doing 127 km/h against 124 km/h for the Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245. The gap is 1.13 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 crosses the line in 14.27 s versus 15.47 s. The 1.20 s gap represents roughly 51 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Ranger Raptor V6 292 maxes out at 180 km/h while the Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 keeps accelerating towards 230 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 1.23 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 finishes in 26.65 s versus 27.64 s, with just 0.99 s to spare. The Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 fails to fully close the launch gap.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the Ranger Raptor V6 292 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 (7.77 kg/hp vs 6.98 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.15 seconds. The 1.47 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Ford Ranger Raptor V6 292 has a clear edge over the Skoda Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
