Civic vs 208 PureTech 110: chronicle of a drag race at 192 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Civic hits 100 km/h in 10.59 s versus 10.90 s for the 208 PureTech 110. At this point, the Civic leads by 0.31 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Civic is doing 109 km/h against 106 km/h for the 208 PureTech 110. The gap is 0.17 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Civic crosses the line in 17.88 s versus 18.15 s. The 0.27 s gap represents roughly 10 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Civic continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 149 km/h versus 149 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Civic finishes in 32.04 s versus 32.33 s, with a 0.29 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (178 vs 192 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 185 km/h, the Civic 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 (9.46 kg/hp vs 9.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.32 seconds. The 0.31 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Honda Civic is slightly faster than the Peugeot 208 PureTech 110 to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
