Off the line, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 hits 100 km/h in 8.18 s versus 10.64 s for the Arkana E-Tech Hybrid 145. The instant torque of 300 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 leads by 2.46 s and sits roughly 31 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 is doing 115 km/h against 107 km/h for the Arkana E-Tech Hybrid 145. The gap is 1.45 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 crosses the line in 16.11 s versus 17.87 s. The 1.76 s gap represents roughly 64 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 154 km/h versus 149 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 finishes in 29.80 s versus 31.99 s, with a 2.19 s lead.
Electronically capped at 175 km/h, the Arkana E-Tech Hybrid 145 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.93 seconds. The 2.46 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 wins (8,18 s vs 10,64 s).
Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,18 seconds (calibrated simulation).
