The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V hits 100 km/h in 10.21 s versus 11.10 s for the Grande Panda 1.2 Hybrid 100. Despite the faster sprint time, the Grande Panda 1.2 Hybrid 100 is 11 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Grande Panda 1.2 Hybrid 100 is doing 102 km/h against 111 km/h for the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V. The gap is 0.30 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V crosses the line in 17.62 s versus 17.87 s. The 0.25 s gap represents roughly 9 m of track — barely a car length.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 153 km/h versus 141 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V finishes in 31.39 s versus 32.84 s, with a 1.46 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (194 vs 190 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 (9.29 kg/hp vs 13.37 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.22 seconds. The 0.89 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
