Off the line, the P7i hits 100 km/h in 6.31 s versus 6.88 s for the Prius PHEV. At this point, the P7i leads by 0.57 s and sits roughly 2 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the P7i is doing 129 km/h against 121 km/h for the Prius PHEV. The gap is 0.29 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the P7i crosses the line in 14.56 s versus 15.09 s. The 0.53 s gap represents roughly 22 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the P7i continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 178 km/h versus 169 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the P7i finishes in 26.38 s versus 27.46 s, with a 1.09 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (262 km/h), the Prius PHEV never recovers its launch deficit.
The Prius PHEV features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the P7i’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the P7i 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 (7.18 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 0.57 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
