Off the line, the Captur TCe 130 EDC hits 100 km/h in 9.74 s versus 10.20 s for the Captur E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid 160. Despite lacking instant torque, 131 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Captur TCe 130 EDC leads by 0.46 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Captur TCe 130 EDC is doing 111 km/h against 112 km/h for the Captur E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid 160. The gap is 0.35 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Captur TCe 130 EDC crosses the line in 17.32 s versus 17.63 s. The 0.31 s gap represents roughly 12 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Captur TCe 130 EDC continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 152 km/h versus 145 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Captur TCe 130 EDC finishes in 31.21 s versus 32.56 s, with a 1.35 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Captur E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid 160 is capped at 145 km/h, the Captur TCe 130 EDC at 188 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.65 seconds. The 0.46 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Captur TCe 130 EDC wins (9,74 s vs 10,20 s).
