Off the line, the G6 hits 100 km/h in 6.82 s versus 8.62 s for the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW. At this point, the G6 leads by 1.80 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the G6 is doing 126 km/h against 115 km/h for the Q4 40 e-tron 150 kW. The gap is 1.02 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the G6 crosses the line in 14.96 s versus 16.48 s. The 1.52 s gap represents roughly 59 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the G6 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 177 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 26.81 s versus 30.31 s, with a 3.50 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the G6 is capped at 200 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 (6.99 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 1.80 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, G6 wins (6,82 s vs 8,62 s).
G6 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,82 seconds (calibrated simulation).
