Off the line, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 hits 100 km/h in 8.73 s versus 9.90 s for the Jazz e:HEV. At this point, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 leads by 1.17 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 is doing 114 km/h against 106 km/h for the Jazz e:HEV. The gap is 0.21 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 crosses the line in 16.39 s versus 17.08 s. The 0.69 s gap represents roughly 25 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 157 km/h versus 142 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 finishes in 29.70 s versus 31.95 s, with a 2.25 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 170 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 is capped at 180 km/h, the Jazz e:HEV at 170 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 (8.56 kg/hp vs 11.18 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.33 seconds. The 1.17 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
