Off the line, the A6 Sedan hits 100 km/h in 8.16 s versus 8.35 s for the E-PACE P200. Despite the faster sprint time, the E-PACE P200 is 4 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the E-PACE P200 is doing 115 km/h against 119 km/h for the A6 Sedan. The gap is 0.07 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A6 Sedan crosses the line in 16.06 s versus 16.19 s. The 0.13 s gap represents roughly 5 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the A6 Sedan continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 167 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A6 Sedan finishes in 28.62 s versus 29.41 s, with a 0.79 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the A6 Sedan is capped at 244 km/h, the E-PACE P200 at 215 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 combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.68 kg/hp vs 8.74 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.46 seconds. The 0.19 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
