i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V vs Fabia 1.2 TSI 90 7DSG: chronicle of a drag race at 190 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V hits 100 km/h in 11.33 s versus 12.25 s for the Fabia 1.2 TSI 90 7DSG. At this point, the i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V leads by 0.92 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V is doing 104 km/h against 103 km/h for the Fabia 1.2 TSI 90 7DSG. The gap is 0.69 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V crosses the line in 18.10 s versus 18.94 s. The 0.84 s gap represents roughly 29 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 147 km/h versus 142 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V finishes in 32.44 s versus 33.76 s, with a 1.32 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (190 vs 184 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (10.79 kg/hp vs 11.78 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.63 seconds. The 0.92 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Hyundai i20 1.0 T-GDi 100 PS 48V has a clear edge over the Skoda Fabia 1.2 TSI 90 7DSG to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
