Jazz e:HEV vs i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V: chronicle of a drag race at 190 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Jazz e:HEV hits 100 km/h in 10.04 s versus 11.33 s for the i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V. At this point, the Jazz e:HEV leads by 1.29 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Jazz e:HEV is doing 107 km/h against 104 km/h for the i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V. The gap is 0.68 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 18.10 s. The 0.77 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Jazz e:HEV maxes out at 175 km/h while the i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V keeps accelerating towards 190 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.73 s.
At 1,000 metres, the Jazz e:HEV finishes in 31.87 s versus 32.44 s, with just 0.57 s to spare. The i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V fails to fully close the launch gap.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 175 km/h, the Jazz e:HEV 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 (10.51 kg/hp vs 10.79 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.67 seconds. The 1.29 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Honda Jazz e:HEV has a clear edge over the Hyundai i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
