308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8 vs Formentor: chronicle of a drag race at 233 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8 hits 100 km/h in 8.03 s versus 8.94 s for the Formentor. At this point, the 308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8 leads by 0.91 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8 is doing 116 km/h against 113 km/h for the Formentor. The gap is 0.56 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8 crosses the line in 15.94 s versus 16.67 s. The 0.73 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 162 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8 finishes in 28.89 s versus 30.04 s, with a 1.15 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 215 km/h, the Formentor 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 (9.22 kg/hp vs 9.73 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.31 seconds. The 0.91 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Peugeot 308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8 has a clear edge over the Cupra Formentor to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
