Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 vs Yaris Hybrid: chronicle of a drag race at 210 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 hits 100 km/h in 9.17 s versus 9.44 s for the Yaris Hybrid. At this point, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 leads by 0.27 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 is doing 115 km/h against 114 km/h for the Yaris Hybrid. The gap is 0.16 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 crosses the line in 16.85 s versus 17.13 s. The 0.27 s gap represents roughly 11 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 161 km/h versus 154 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 finishes in 29.94 s versus 30.86 s, with a 0.93 s lead.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Electronically capped at 210 km/h, the Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 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 (8.54 kg/hp vs 9.18 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.77 seconds. The 0.27 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Renault Clio 5 1.3 TCe 140 has a clear edge over the Toyota Yaris Hybrid to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
