The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG hits 100 km/h in 6.61 s versus 8.18 s for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. Despite lacking instant torque, 245 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG leads by 1.57 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG is doing 126 km/h against 115 km/h for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. The gap is 0.73 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG crosses the line in 14.84 s versus 16.11 s. The 1.28 s gap represents roughly 48 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 174 km/h versus 154 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Tarraco 2.0 TSI 245 4Drive 7DSG finishes in 26.96 s versus 29.80 s, with a 2.84 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

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 13.65 seconds. The 1.57 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
