Off the line, the SQ6 SUV e-tron hits 100 km/h in 4.37 s versus 7.52 s for the Q6 Sportback e-tron. At this point, the SQ6 SUV e-tron leads by 3.15 s and sits roughly 24 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron is doing 144 km/h against 120 km/h for the Q6 Sportback e-tron. The gap is 2.00 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the SQ6 SUV e-tron crosses the line in 12.70 s versus 15.60 s. The 2.91 s gap represents roughly 114 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 198 km/h versus 164 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron finishes in 23.29 s versus 28.40 s, with a 5.11 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the SQ6 SUV e-tron is capped at 230 km/h, the Q6 Sportback e-tron at 210 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 8.43 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.98 seconds. The 3.15 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
