Off the line, the e-208 156 Phase 2 hits 100 km/h in 8.12 s versus 10.04 s for the Megane E-Tech Electric 130. At this point, the e-208 156 Phase 2 leads by 1.92 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the e-208 156 Phase 2 is doing 119 km/h against 108 km/h for the Megane E-Tech Electric 130. The gap is 0.73 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the e-208 156 Phase 2 crosses the line in 16.14 s versus 17.41 s. The 1.27 s gap represents roughly 46 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the e-208 156 Phase 2 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 150 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the e-208 156 Phase 2 finishes in 30.57 s versus 32.22 s, with a 1.65 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (150 vs 150 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the e-208 156 Phase 2 and the Megane E-Tech Electric 130 are governed to 150 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.33 kg/hp vs 12.40 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.85 seconds. The 1.92 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
