Off the line, the Q6 Sportback e-tron hits 100 km/h in 6.82 s versus 6.82 s for the G6. The 0.00 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the G6 is doing 126 km/h against 128 km/h for the Q6 Sportback e-tron. The gap is 0.08 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the G6 crosses the line in 14.96 s versus 15.00 s. The 0.04 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the G6 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 177 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the G6 finishes in 26.81 s versus 27.04 s, with a 0.23 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (210 vs 200 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 G6 at 200 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 (7.19 kg/hp vs 6.99 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.49 seconds. The 0.00 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
