Off the line, the Q4 45 e-tron quattro 210 kW hits 100 km/h in 6.53 s versus 7.41 s for the Atto 3 Extended Range. At this point, the Q4 45 e-tron quattro 210 kW leads by 0.88 s and sits roughly 21 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Q4 45 e-tron quattro 210 kW is doing 122 km/h against 121 km/h for the Atto 3 Extended Range. The gap is 0.80 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Q4 45 e-tron quattro 210 kW crosses the line in 14.71 s versus 15.57 s. The 0.86 s gap represents roughly 35 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Q4 45 e-tron quattro 210 kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Q4 45 e-tron quattro 210 kW finishes in 27.24 s versus 29.19 s, with a 1.95 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Q4 45 e-tron quattro 210 kW is capped at 180 km/h, the Atto 3 Extended Range 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 (7.81 kg/hp vs 8.58 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.71 seconds. The 0.88 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
