Off the line, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 hits 100 km/h in 7.96 s versus 11.23 s for the 216d. At this point, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 leads by 3.27 s and sits roughly 27 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 is doing 120 km/h against 105 km/h for the 216d. The gap is 1.53 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 crosses the line in 15.90 s versus 18.21 s. The 2.31 s gap represents roughly 81 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 166 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 finishes in 28.57 s versus 32.65 s, with a 4.07 s lead.
Electronically capped at 195 km/h, the 216d 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 (8.52 kg/hp vs 12.24 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 18.17 seconds. The 3.27 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 wins (7,96 s vs 11,23 s).
208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,96 seconds (calibrated simulation).
