Off the line, the SQ6 SUV e-tron hits 100 km/h in 4.37 s versus 7.20 s for the Cooper E FWD. At this point, the SQ6 SUV e-tron leads by 2.84 s and sits roughly 25 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron is doing 144 km/h against 124 km/h for the Cooper E FWD. The gap is 1.93 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 15.37 s. The 2.67 s gap represents roughly 108 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 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron finishes in 23.29 s versus 28.93 s, with a 5.64 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 Cooper E FWD at 160 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 7.58 kg/hp) and transmission (Unknown vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.15 seconds. The 2.84 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
