The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the iX M60 hits 100 km/h in 3.72 s versus 5.37 s for the Model Y Long Range RWD. At this point, the iX M60 leads by 1.66 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the iX M60 is doing 151 km/h against 131 km/h for the Model Y Long Range RWD. The gap is 1.21 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the iX M60 crosses the line in 11.94 s versus 13.90 s. The 1.97 s gap represents roughly 83 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the iX M60 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 212 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the iX M60 finishes in 21.84 s versus 26.20 s, with a 4.36 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

The iX M60 features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Model Y Long Range RWD’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.

Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the iX M60 is capped at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h, the Model Y Long Range RWD 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 (4.26 kg/hp vs 6.84 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 8.80 seconds. The 1.66 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
