Off the line, the iX xDrive40 hits 100 km/h in 6.04 s versus 6.82 s for the G6. At this point, the iX xDrive40 leads by 0.78 s and sits roughly 14 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the iX xDrive40 is doing 127 km/h against 126 km/h for the G6. The gap is 0.58 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the iX xDrive40 crosses the line in 14.36 s versus 14.96 s. The 0.59 s gap represents roughly 25 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows.
At 1,000 metres, the iX xDrive40 finishes in 26.37 s versus 26.81 s, with just 0.44 s to spare. The G6 fails to fully close the launch gap.
The iX xDrive40 features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the G6’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 share the same electronic speed cap: the iX xDrive40 and the G6 are governed to 200 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.48 kg/hp vs 6.99 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.49 seconds. The 0.78 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
