Off the line, the Jazz e:HEV hits 100 km/h in 9.90 s versus 10.90 s for the 208 PureTech 110. At this point, the Jazz e:HEV leads by 1.00 s and sits roughly 32 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Jazz e:HEV is doing 106 km/h against 106 km/h for the 208 PureTech 110. The gap is 1.17 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Jazz e:HEV crosses the line in 17.08 s versus 18.15 s. The 1.07 s gap represents roughly 39 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Jazz e:HEV maxes out at 170 km/h while the 208 PureTech 110 keeps accelerating towards 192 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 0.87 s from 1.07 s at 400 metres.
At 1,000 metres, the Jazz e:HEV finishes in 31.95 s versus 32.33 s, with just 0.39 s to spare. The 208 PureTech 110 fails to fully close the launch gap.
Electronically capped at 170 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 (9.95 kg/hp vs 11.18 kg/hp) and transmission (Manual vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.33 seconds. The 1.00 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 (9,90 s vs 10,90 s).
208 PureTech 110 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 10,90 seconds (calibrated simulation).
