Off the line, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 hits 100 km/h in 9.18 s versus 10.10 s for the Clio 5 E-Tech Hybrid 145. At this point, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 leads by 0.92 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 is doing 113 km/h against 110 km/h for the Clio 5 E-Tech Hybrid 145. The gap is 0.64 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 17.52 s. The 0.76 s gap represents roughly 29 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 153 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 finishes in 30.23 s versus 31.23 s, with a 1.00 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 180 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the Clio 5 E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 and the Clio 5 E-Tech Hybrid 145 are governed to 180 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.37 kg/hp vs 10.35 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.82 seconds. The 0.92 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.
