Ranger Wildtrak EcoBlue 213 vs Civic e:HEV: chronicle of a drag race at 180 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Civic e:HEV hits 100 km/h in 8.04 s versus 9.86 s for the Ranger Wildtrak EcoBlue 213. At this point, the Civic e:HEV leads by 1.82 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Civic e:HEV is doing 121 km/h against 111 km/h for the Ranger Wildtrak EcoBlue 213. The gap is 0.98 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Civic e:HEV crosses the line in 15.94 s versus 17.44 s. The 1.50 s gap represents roughly 56 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Civic e:HEV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 171 km/h versus 153 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Civic e:HEV finishes in 28.45 s versus 31.20 s, with a 2.75 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (178 vs 180 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Ranger Wildtrak EcoBlue 213 and the Civic e:HEV are governed to 178 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.42 kg/hp vs 7.49 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.45 seconds. The 1.82 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Honda Civic e:HEV has a clear edge over the Ford Ranger Wildtrak EcoBlue 213 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
