Off the line, the Jazz e:HEV hits 100 km/h in 10.04 s versus 11.36 s for the Leaf 24kWh AZE0. Despite lacking instant torque, 118 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Jazz e:HEV leads by 1.32 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Jazz e:HEV is doing 107 km/h against 102 km/h for the Leaf 24kWh AZE0. The gap is 0.49 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 18.13 s. The 0.80 s gap represents roughly 27 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Jazz e:HEV continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 146 km/h versus 139 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Jazz e:HEV finishes in 31.87 s versus 33.56 s, with a 1.69 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Jazz e:HEV is capped at 175 km/h, the Leaf 24kWh AZE0 at 145 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 19.75 seconds. The 1.32 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 11,36 s).
Jazz e:HEV goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 10,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
