Off the line, the Puma EcoBoost 125 hits 100 km/h in 9.92 s versus 10.64 s for the Arkana E-Tech Hybrid 145. At this point, the Puma EcoBoost 125 leads by 0.72 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Puma EcoBoost 125 is doing 107 km/h against 107 km/h for the Arkana E-Tech Hybrid 145. The gap is 0.63 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Puma EcoBoost 125 crosses the line in 17.29 s versus 17.87 s. The 0.58 s gap represents roughly 21 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The Arkana E-Tech Hybrid 145 maxes out at 175 km/h while the Puma EcoBoost 125 keeps accelerating towards 184 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 0.48 s from 0.58 s at 400 metres.
At 1,000 metres, the Puma EcoBoost 125 finishes in 31.78 s versus 31.99 s, with just 0.20 s to spare. The Arkana E-Tech Hybrid 145 fails to fully close the launch gap.
Electronically capped at 175 km/h, the Arkana E-Tech Hybrid 145 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 (10.69 kg/hp vs 9.82 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.93 seconds. The 0.72 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
