Off the line, the Q6 Sportback e-tron hits 100 km/h in 6.82 s versus 8.35 s for the E-PACE P200. The instant torque of 485 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Q6 Sportback e-tron leads by 1.53 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Q6 Sportback e-tron is doing 128 km/h against 115 km/h for the E-PACE P200. The gap is 0.65 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Q6 Sportback e-tron crosses the line in 15.00 s versus 16.19 s. The 1.19 s gap represents roughly 46 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 175 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Q6 Sportback e-tron finishes in 27.04 s versus 29.41 s, with a 2.37 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (210 vs 215 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Q6 Sportback e-tron is capped at 210 km/h, the E-PACE P200 at 215 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.46 seconds. The 1.53 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
