Off the line, the 330e Touring hits 100 km/h in 5.94 s versus 7.12 s for the A6 Avant e-tron. At this point, the 330e Touring leads by 1.18 s and sits roughly 11 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 330e Touring is doing 132 km/h against 123 km/h for the A6 Avant e-tron. The gap is 0.68 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 330e Touring crosses the line in 14.15 s versus 15.21 s. The 1.06 s gap represents roughly 44 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 330e Touring continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 185 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 330e Touring finishes in 25.48 s versus 27.38 s, with a 1.90 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 330e Touring is capped at 230 km/h, the A6 Avant e-tron at 210 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 (6.27 kg/hp vs 7.38 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 11.13 seconds. The 1.18 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 330e Touring G20 wins (5,94 s vs 7,12 s).
330e Touring G20 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,94 seconds (calibrated simulation).
