Off the line, the Civic e:HEV hits 100 km/h in 8.04 s versus 8.73 s for the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160. Despite the faster sprint time, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 is 2 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the Civic e:HEV is doing 121 km/h against 114 km/h for the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160. The gap is 0.08 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 16.39 s. The 0.45 s gap represents roughly 18 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Civic e:HEV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 171 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Civic e:HEV finishes in 28.45 s versus 29.70 s, with a 1.25 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 180 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Civic e:HEV and the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 are governed to 180 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 (7.49 kg/hp vs 8.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.81 seconds. The 0.69 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
