Off the line, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 220 hits 100 km/h in 8.05 s versus 9.74 s for the Captur TCe 130 EDC. The instant torque of 300 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 220 leads by 1.69 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 220 is doing 120 km/h against 111 km/h for the Captur TCe 130 EDC. The gap is 0.85 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 220 crosses the line in 16.06 s versus 17.32 s. The 1.26 s gap represents roughly 47 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 220 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 163 km/h versus 152 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Scenic E-Tech Electric 220 finishes in 28.98 s versus 31.21 s, with a 2.23 s lead.
Electronically capped at 188 km/h, the Captur TCe 130 EDC 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 15.47 seconds. The 1.69 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 220 wins (8,05 s vs 9,74 s).
