The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the SQ6 SUV e-tron hits 100 km/h in 4.37 s versus 6.82 s for the Q6 SUV e-tron. At this point, the SQ6 SUV e-tron leads by 2.46 s and sits roughly 25 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron is doing 144 km/h against 128 km/h for the Q6 SUV e-tron. The gap is 1.73 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 15.00 s. The 2.31 s gap represents roughly 97 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 198 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron finishes in 23.29 s versus 27.06 s, with a 3.77 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the SQ6 SUV e-tron is capped at 230 km/h, the Q6 SUV 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 7.28 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Unknown).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.26 seconds. The 2.46 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
