408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 vs CR-V: chronicle of a drag race at 233 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 hits 100 km/h in 7.58 s versus 8.67 s for the CR-V. At this point, the 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 leads by 1.09 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 is doing 122 km/h against 116 km/h for the CR-V. The gap is 0.56 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 crosses the line in 15.61 s versus 16.50 s. The 0.89 s gap represents roughly 34 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 finishes in 27.96 s versus 29.77 s, with a 1.81 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the CR-V 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 (7.66 kg/hp vs 8.74 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.59 seconds. The 1.09 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Peugeot 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 has a clear edge over the Honda CR-V to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
