Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 EDC vs 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6: chronicle of a drag race at 214 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 hits 100 km/h in 7.96 s versus 9.81 s for the Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 EDC. At this point, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 leads by 1.85 s and sits roughly 25 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 is doing 120 km/h against 113 km/h for the Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 EDC. The gap is 1.18 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 crosses the line in 15.90 s versus 17.37 s. The 1.46 s gap represents roughly 56 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 166 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 finishes in 28.57 s versus 30.61 s, with a 2.03 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (213 vs 214 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.03 kg/hp vs 8.52 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.73 seconds. The 1.85 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Peugeot 208 Hybrid 145 e-DCS6 has a clear edge over the Renault Kadjar 1.3 TCe 160 EDC to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
