Off the line, the Compass 4xe hits 100 km/h in 7.58 s versus 10.20 s for the Captur E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid 160. At this point, the Compass 4xe leads by 2.62 s and sits roughly 40 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Compass 4xe is doing 116 km/h against 112 km/h for the Captur E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid 160. The gap is 1.81 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Compass 4xe crosses the line in 15.62 s versus 17.63 s. The 2.01 s gap represents roughly 75 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Compass 4xe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 159 km/h versus 145 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Compass 4xe finishes in 28.87 s versus 32.56 s, with a 3.69 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Compass 4xe is capped at 200 km/h, the Captur E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid 160 at 145 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.56 kg/hp vs 9.59 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.65 seconds. The 2.62 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Compass 4xe wins (7,58 s vs 10,20 s).
Compass 4xe goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,58 seconds (calibrated simulation).
