Off the line, the P7 hits 100 km/h in 4.22 s versus 6.88 s for the Prius PHEV. At this point, the P7 leads by 2.67 s and sits roughly 19 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the P7 is doing 147 km/h against 121 km/h for the Prius PHEV. The gap is 1.74 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7 crosses the line in 12.54 s versus 15.09 s. The 2.55 s gap represents roughly 103 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The P7 maxes out at 170 km/h while the Prius PHEV keeps accelerating towards 262 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap is down to 2.81 s from 2.55 s at 400 metres.
At 1,000 metres, the P7 finishes in 25.24 s versus 27.46 s, with just 2.22 s to spare. The Prius PHEV fails to fully close the launch gap.
Electronically capped at 170 km/h, the P7 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 (4.81 kg/hp vs 6.91 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.22 seconds. The 2.67 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, P7 wins (4,21 s vs 6,88 s).
P7 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,21 seconds (calibrated simulation).
