Off the line, the iX xDrive50 hits 100 km/h in 4.69 s versus 5.05 s for the Model Y Long Range AWD. At this point, the iX xDrive50 leads by 0.36 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the iX xDrive50 is doing 144 km/h against 143 km/h for the Model Y Long Range AWD. The gap is 0.29 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the iX xDrive50 crosses the line in 12.93 s versus 13.27 s. The 0.34 s gap represents roughly 17 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the gap narrows. The iX xDrive50 maxes out at 200 km/h while the Model Y Long Range AWD keeps accelerating towards 217 km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.41 s.
At 1,000 metres, the iX xDrive50 finishes in 23.92 s versus 23.97 s, with just 0.05 s to spare. The Model Y Long Range AWD fails to fully close the launch gap.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the iX xDrive50 is capped at 200 km/h, the Model Y Long Range AWD 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 (4.94 kg/hp vs 5.22 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.41 seconds. The 0.36 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
