Off the line, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 hits 100 km/h in 7.96 s versus 9.17 s for the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140. At this point, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 leads by 1.21 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 is doing 120 km/h against 115 km/h for the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140. The gap is 0.73 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 16.85 s. The 0.95 s gap represents roughly 37 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 161 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 finishes in 28.57 s versus 29.94 s, with a 1.36 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (214 vs 210 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Electronically capped at 210 km/h, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 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 8.54 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.97 seconds. The 1.21 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
