i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V vs Cooper One FWD: chronicle of a drag race at 194 km/h
The launch: 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 10.28 s for the Cooper One FWD. The 0.07 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Cooper One FWD is doing 109 km/h against 111 km/h for the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V. The gap is 0.10 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V crosses the line in 17.62 s versus 17.69 s. The 0.07 s gap represents roughly 3 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 147 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V finishes in 31.39 s versus 32.01 s, with a 0.63 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (194 vs 185 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 10.44 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.73 seconds. The 0.07 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Hyundai i20 1.0 T-GDI 120 PS 48V is slightly faster than the MINI Cooper One FWD to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
