Off the line, the Jazz e:HEV hits 100 km/h in 10.04 s versus 10.17 s for the 116d. The 0.13 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Jazz e:HEV is doing 107 km/h against 106 km/h for the 116d. The gap is 0.01 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Jazz e:HEV crosses the line in 17.34 s versus 17.39 s. The 0.05 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Jazz e:HEV maxes out at 175 km/h while the 116d keeps accelerating towards 200 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.02 s.
Around 667 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the 116d overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 25 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the 116d finishes in 31.69 s versus 31.87 s. The 0.18 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Jazz e:HEV is capped at 175 km/h, the 116d at 200 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.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (10.51 kg/hp vs 11.85 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.95 seconds. The 0.13 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Jazz e:HEV wins (10,04 s vs 10,17 s).
Jazz e:HEV goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 10,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
