What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.66 kg/hp vs 7.79 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.55 seconds. The 0.86 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
SEAT Ateca 2.0 TSI 190 FR 4Drive 7DSG has a clear edge over the Peugeot 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
