Off the line, the Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 hits 100 km/h in 7.42 s versus 8.12 s for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150. At this point, the Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 leads by 0.70 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 is doing 124 km/h against 117 km/h for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150. The gap is 0.24 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 crosses the line in 15.47 s versus 16.13 s. The 0.66 s gap represents roughly 26 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 173 km/h versus 150 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 finishes in 27.64 s versus 30.62 s, with a 2.97 s lead.
Electronically capped at 150 km/h, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.98 kg/hp vs 10.16 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.23 seconds. The 0.70 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 wins (7,42 s vs 8,12 s).
Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,42 seconds (calibrated simulation).
