Off the line, the Mustang Mach-E RWD hits 100 km/h in 6.04 s versus 8.62 s for the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW. At this point, the Mustang Mach-E RWD leads by 2.58 s and sits roughly 25 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD is doing 129 km/h against 115 km/h for the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW. The gap is 1.52 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Mustang Mach-E RWD crosses the line in 14.39 s versus 16.48 s. The 2.09 s gap represents roughly 80 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 175 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD finishes in 26.73 s versus 30.31 s, with a 3.57 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Mustang Mach-E RWD is capped at 180 km/h, the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW at 160 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 (7.01 kg/hp vs 10.57 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.70 seconds. The 2.58 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
