i20 1.0 T-GDi 120 PS 48V vs 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6: chronicle of a drag race at 195 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6 hits 100 km/h in 9.99 s versus 10.02 s for the i20 1.0 T-GDi 120 PS 48V. The 0.03 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6 is doing 108 km/h against 110 km/h for the i20 1.0 T-GDi 120 PS 48V. The gap is 0.23 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6 crosses the line in 17.33 s versus 17.42 s. The 0.09 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track — barely a car length.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. Past 400 metres, both rivals hit the same electronic ceiling at 194 km/h. Neither can claw back ground through top speed — the outcome hinges on the acceleration curve between 100 and 194 km/h.
At 1,000 metres, the i20 1.0 T-GDi 120 PS 48V finishes in 31.18 s versus 31.57 s. The 0.39 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.29 kg/hp vs 10.68 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.36 seconds. The 0.03 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Peugeot 208 Hybrid 110 e-DCS6 is slightly faster than the Hyundai i20 1.0 T-GDi 120 PS 48V to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
