Off the line, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW hits 100 km/h in 6.77 s versus 8.18 s for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. At this point, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW leads by 1.41 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW is doing 125 km/h against 115 km/h for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. The gap is 0.62 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 16.11 s. The 1.13 s gap represents roughly 43 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 154 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Q4 45 e-tron 210 kW finishes in 27.43 s versus 29.80 s, with a 2.37 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (211 km/h), the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.50 kg/hp vs 10.45 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.65 seconds. The 1.41 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
