Off the line, the Civic e:HEV hits 100 km/h in 8.04 s versus 8.12 s for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150. Despite lacking instant torque, 181 hp of power compensates. The 0.08 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 is doing 117 km/h against 121 km/h for the Civic e:HEV. The gap is 0.12 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Civic e:HEV crosses the line in 15.94 s versus 16.13 s. The 0.19 s gap represents roughly 8 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Civic e:HEV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 171 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Civic e:HEV finishes in 28.45 s versus 30.62 s, with a 2.17 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Civic e:HEV is capped at 180 km/h, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 at 150 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.23 seconds. The 0.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
