Off the line, the 225xe hits 100 km/h in 6.78 s versus 7.88 s for the ID.3 Pro S. At this point, the 225xe leads by 1.10 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 225xe is doing 124 km/h against 118 km/h for the ID.3 Pro S. The gap is 0.66 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 225xe crosses the line in 14.96 s versus 15.91 s. The 0.96 s gap represents roughly 38 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 225xe continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 172 km/h versus 160 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 225xe finishes in 27.15 s versus 29.62 s, with a 2.47 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 225xe is capped at 202 km/h, the ID.3 Pro S 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 plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.66 kg/hp vs 9.46 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.58 seconds. The 1.10 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 225xe F44 wins (6,78 s vs 7,88 s).
225xe F44 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,78 seconds (calibrated simulation).
