Off the line, the A6 Avant e-tron hits 100 km/h in 5.45 s versus 6.12 s for the Bmw i5 eDrive40. At this point, the A6 Avant e-tron leads by 0.67 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A6 Avant e-tron is doing 136 km/h against 135 km/h for the Bmw i5 eDrive40. The gap is 0.50 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A6 Avant e-tron crosses the line in 13.77 s versus 14.29 s. The 0.52 s gap represents roughly 24 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the A6 Avant e-tron continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 187 km/h versus 186 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A6 Avant e-tron finishes in 25.00 s versus 25.87 s, with a 0.86 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the A6 Avant e-tron is capped at 210 km/h, the Bmw i5 eDrive40 at 193 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.25 kg/hp vs 6.81 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.92 seconds. The 0.67 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
