5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 vs Leaf 24kWh AZE0: chronicle of a drag race at 201 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Leaf 24kWh AZE0 hits 100 km/h in 11.36 s versus 11.82 s for the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8. The instant torque of 254 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Leaf 24kWh AZE0 leads by 0.46 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Leaf 24kWh AZE0 is doing 102 km/h against 102 km/h for the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8. The gap is 0.39 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Leaf 24kWh AZE0 crosses the line in 18.13 s versus 18.51 s. The 0.37 s gap represents roughly 13 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Leaf 24kWh AZE0 maxes out at 145 km/h while the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 keeps accelerating towards 201 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.29 s.
Around 881 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 56 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 finishes in 33.30 s versus 33.56 s. The 0.26 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 145 km/h, the Leaf 24kWh AZE0 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.75 seconds. The 0.46 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Nissan Leaf 24kWh AZE0 is slightly faster than the Peugeot 5008 BlueHDi 130 EAT8 to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
