Off the line, the SQ6 SUV e-tron hits 100 km/h in 4.37 s versus 5.05 s for the Model Y Long Range AWD. At this point, the SQ6 SUV e-tron leads by 0.68 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron is doing 144 km/h against 143 km/h for the Model Y Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.52 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 13.27 s. The 0.57 s gap represents roughly 28 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 198 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the SQ6 SUV e-tron finishes in 23.29 s versus 23.97 s, with a 0.68 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 SUV e-tron is capped at 230 km/h, the Model Y 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 5.22 kg/hp) and transmission (auto vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.41 seconds. The 0.68 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.
