Off the line, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron hits 100 km/h in 4.37 s versus 4.55 s for the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD. At this point, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron leads by 0.18 s and sits roughly 4 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron is doing 145 km/h against 145 km/h for the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.15 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron crosses the line in 12.68 s versus 12.83 s. The 0.15 s gap represents roughly 8 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 199 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron finishes in 23.17 s versus 23.43 s, with a 0.26 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (230 vs 217 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the SQ6 Sportback e-tron is capped at 230 km/h, the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD at 217 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 (4.76 kg/hp vs 5.05 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.83 seconds. The 0.18 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
