Captur TCe 130 EDC vs 208 PureTech 110: chronicle of a drag race at 192 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Captur TCe 130 EDC hits 100 km/h in 9.74 s versus 10.90 s for the 208 PureTech 110. At this point, the Captur TCe 130 EDC leads by 1.16 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Captur TCe 130 EDC is doing 111 km/h against 106 km/h for the 208 PureTech 110. The gap is 0.61 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Captur TCe 130 EDC crosses the line in 17.32 s versus 18.15 s. The 0.83 s gap represents roughly 30 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Captur TCe 130 EDC continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 152 km/h versus 149 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Captur TCe 130 EDC finishes in 31.21 s versus 32.33 s, with a 1.12 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (188 vs 192 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 188 km/h, the Captur TCe 130 EDC 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 (9.57 kg/hp vs 9.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 17.32 seconds. The 1.16 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Renault Captur TCe 130 EDC has a clear edge over the Peugeot 208 PureTech 110 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
