Off the line, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 hits 100 km/h in 9.18 s versus 10.04 s for the Jazz e:HEV. At this point, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 leads by 0.86 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 is doing 113 km/h against 107 km/h for the Jazz e:HEV. The gap is 0.29 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 crosses the line in 16.76 s versus 17.34 s. The 0.58 s gap represents roughly 21 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 157 km/h versus 146 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 finishes in 30.23 s versus 31.87 s, with a 1.63 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 175 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 is capped at 180 km/h, the Jazz e:HEV at 175 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 (9.37 kg/hp vs 10.51 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.76 seconds. The 0.86 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
