Off the line, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 hits 100 km/h in 8.18 s versus 8.36 s for the 5 Long Range FWD. At this point, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 leads by 0.18 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 is doing 115 km/h against 121 km/h for the 5 Long Range FWD. The gap is 0.46 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 crosses the line in 16.11 s versus 16.27 s. The 0.16 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The 5 Long Range FWD maxes out at 185 km/h while the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 keeps accelerating towards 211 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.14 s.
Around 504 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the 5 Long Range FWD overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 26 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the 5 Long Range FWD finishes in 29.07 s versus 29.80 s. The 0.73 s delta in favour of the 5 Long Range FWD shows that top speed makes a clear difference.
Electronically capped at 185 km/h, the 5 Long Range FWD 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.33 kg/hp vs 10.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.65 seconds. The 0.18 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
Over 0–100 km/h, Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 wins (8,18 s vs 8,36 s).
