Off the line, the Captur TCe 130 EDC hits 100 km/h in 9.74 s versus 9.75 s for the HR-V e:HEV. The 0.01 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the HR-V e:HEV is doing 108 km/h against 111 km/h for the Captur TCe 130 EDC. The gap is 0.32 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the HR-V e:HEV crosses the line in 17.17 s versus 17.32 s. The 0.15 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The HR-V e:HEV maxes out at 170 km/h while the Captur TCe 130 EDC keeps accelerating towards 188 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.03 s.
Around 656 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the Captur TCe 130 EDC overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 18 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the Captur TCe 130 EDC finishes in 31.21 s versus 31.35 s. The 0.14 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Captur TCe 130 EDC is capped at 188 km/h, the HR-V e:HEV at 170 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.57 kg/hp vs 10.70 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.19 seconds. The 0.01 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 and HR-V e:HEV are neck and neck (9,74 s vs 9,75 s, no significant gap).
Captur TCe 130 EDC goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 9,74 seconds (calibrated simulation).
Captur TCe 130 EDC: 131 hp, ratio 9,57 kg/hp. HR-V e:HEV: 129 hp, ratio 10,70 kg/hp.
Captur TCe 130 EDC: 188 km/h. HR-V e:HEV: 170 km/h.
