Off the line, the SQ6 SUV e-tron hits 100 km/h in 4.37 s versus 5.37 s for the F-PACE P400e. At this point, the SQ6 SUV e-tron leads by 1.01 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron is doing 144 km/h against 137 km/h for the F-PACE P400e. The gap is 0.69 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 13.60 s. The 0.90 s gap represents roughly 42 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 191 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron finishes in 23.29 s versus 24.60 s, with a 1.31 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (230 vs 220 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the SQ6 SUV e-tron is capped at 230 km/h, the F-PACE P400e at 220 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.76 kg/hp vs 5.55 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.18 seconds. The 1.01 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, SQ6 SUV e-tron wins (4,37 s vs 5,37 s).
SQ6 SUV e-tron goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,37 seconds (calibrated simulation).
