Off the line, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW hits 100 km/h in 6.77 s versus 8.31 s for the Terramar. At this point, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW leads by 1.54 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW is doing 125 km/h against 116 km/h for the Terramar. The gap is 0.86 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW crosses the line in 14.98 s versus 16.25 s. The 1.27 s gap represents roughly 50 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 172 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW finishes in 27.43 s versus 29.41 s, with a 1.98 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (214 km/h), the Terramar never recovers its launch deficit.
Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW 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 (7.50 kg/hp vs 9.00 kg/hp) and transmission (auto vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.30 seconds. The 1.54 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
