Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 vs 2008 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6: chronicle of a drag race at 204 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 hits 100 km/h in 8.73 s versus 9.04 s for the 2008 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6. At this point, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 leads by 0.31 s and sits roughly 6 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 is doing 114 km/h against 113 km/h for the 2008 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6. The gap is 0.24 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 crosses the line in 16.39 s versus 16.70 s. The 0.30 s gap represents roughly 12 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 157 km/h versus 155 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 finishes in 29.70 s versus 30.24 s, with a 0.55 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (204 km/h), the 2008 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6 never recovers its launch deficit.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 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 (8.56 kg/hp vs 9.63 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.36 seconds. The 0.31 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Renault Clio 6 E-Tech Full Hybrid 160 is slightly faster than the Peugeot 2008 Hybrid 136 e-DCS6 to 100 km/h. The edge holds on standing starts but may narrow at higher speeds depending on aerodynamic load.
