Off the line, the e-208 156 Phase 2 hits 100 km/h in 8.12 s versus 8.18 s for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. The 0.06 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 is doing 115 km/h against 119 km/h for the e-208 156 Phase 2. The gap is 0.22 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 crosses the line in 16.11 s versus 16.14 s. The 0.03 s gap represents roughly 1 m of track
Past 400 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 150 km/h versus 154 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 finishes in 29.80 s versus 30.57 s, with a 0.77 s lead.
Electronically capped at 150 km/h, the e-208 156 Phase 2 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (10.45 kg/hp vs 9.33 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.65 seconds. The 0.06 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 and e-208 156 Phase 2 are neck and neck (8,12 s vs 8,18 s, no significant gap).
Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,18 seconds (calibrated simulation).
