Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 167 km/h versus 162 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 finishes in 28.78 s versus 29.64 s, with a 0.86 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.32 kg/hp vs 8.60 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.60 seconds. The 0.59 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Peugeot 508 PureTech 180 EAT8 has a clear edge over the SEAT Leon 1.4 TSI 150 7DSG to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
