Off the line, the E-PACE P200 hits 100 km/h in 8.35 s versus 9.00 s for the DS3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8. At this point, the E-PACE P200 leads by 0.65 s and sits roughly 21 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the E-PACE P200 is doing 115 km/h against 118 km/h for the DS3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8. The gap is 0.72 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the E-PACE P200 crosses the line in 16.19 s versus 16.76 s. The 0.57 s gap represents roughly 23 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows.
At 1,000 metres, the E-PACE P200 finishes in 29.41 s versus 29.59 s, with just 0.18 s to spare. The DS3 Crossback PureTech 155 EAT8 fails to fully close the launch gap.
Electronically capped at 215 km/h, the E-PACE P200 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.74 kg/hp vs 7.88 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.46 seconds. The 0.65 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
