Off the line, the Megane E-Tech Electric hits 100 km/h in 7.48 s versus 8.12 s for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150. At this point, the Megane E-Tech Electric leads by 0.64 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Megane E-Tech Electric is doing 123 km/h against 117 km/h for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150. The gap is 0.24 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Megane E-Tech Electric crosses the line in 15.59 s versus 16.13 s. The 0.55 s gap represents roughly 21 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Megane E-Tech Electric continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Megane E-Tech Electric finishes in 29.16 s versus 30.62 s, with a 1.46 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (160 vs 150 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Megane E-Tech Electric is capped at 160 km/h, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 at 150 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.11 kg/hp vs 10.16 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.23 seconds. The 0.64 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
