Off the line, the G6 hits 100 km/h in 3.80 s versus 4.04 s for the SQ7 SUV. The instant torque of 660 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the G6 leads by 0.24 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the G6 is doing 152 km/h against 154 km/h for the SQ7 SUV. The gap is 0.15 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the G6 crosses the line in 12.03 s versus 12.11 s. The 0.08 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The G6 maxes out at 200 km/h while the SQ7 SUV keeps accelerating towards 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.04 s.
Around 565 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the SQ7 SUV overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 50 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the SQ7 SUV finishes in 21.94 s versus 22.89 s. The 0.95 s delta in favour of the SQ7 SUV shows that top speed makes a clear difference.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the SQ7 SUV is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the G6 at 200 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.95 seconds. The 0.24 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, G6 wins (3,80 s vs 4,04 s).
SQ7 SUV goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,04 seconds (calibrated simulation).
SQ7 SUV: 507 hp, ratio 4,34 kg/hp. G6: 480 hp, ratio 4,41 kg/hp.
SQ7 SUV: 250 km/h. G6: 200 km/h.
