Off the line, the Q6 Sportback e-tron hits 100 km/h in 7.52 s versus 8.55 s for the ID.4 Pro. At this point, the Q6 Sportback e-tron leads by 1.03 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Q6 Sportback e-tron is doing 120 km/h against 116 km/h for the ID.4 Pro. The gap is 0.62 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Q6 Sportback e-tron crosses the line in 15.60 s versus 16.42 s. The 0.82 s gap represents roughly 32 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Q6 Sportback e-tron continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 164 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Q6 Sportback e-tron finishes in 28.40 s versus 29.78 s, with a 1.38 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Q6 Sportback e-tron is capped at 210 km/h, the ID.4 Pro at 180 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 (8.43 kg/hp vs 10.07 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.60 seconds. The 1.03 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
