Off the line, the Model Y Juniper RWD hits 100 km/h in 6.04 s versus 6.12 s for the i5 eDrive40. The 0.08 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Model Y Juniper RWD is doing 135 km/h against 135 km/h for the i5 eDrive40. The gap is 0.06 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Juniper RWD crosses the line in 14.24 s versus 14.29 s. The 0.05 s gap represents roughly 2 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Model Y Juniper RWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 185 km/h versus 186 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Juniper RWD finishes in 25.58 s versus 25.87 s, with a 0.29 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the i5 eDrive40 is capped at 193 km/h, the Model Y Juniper RWD at 209 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 (6.81 kg/hp vs 6.20 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.92 seconds. The 0.08 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, i5 eDrive40 G60 and Model Y Juniper RWD are neck and neck (6,04 s vs 6,12 s, no significant gap).
i5 eDrive40 G60 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,12 seconds (calibrated simulation).
