Off the line, the iX3 hits 100 km/h in 6.86 s versus 8.55 s for the ID.4 Pro. At this point, the iX3 leads by 1.69 s and sits roughly 15 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the iX3 is doing 126 km/h against 116 km/h for the ID.4 Pro. The gap is 0.90 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the iX3 crosses the line in 15.07 s versus 16.42 s. The 1.35 s gap represents roughly 52 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the iX3 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 172 km/h versus 157 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the iX3 finishes in 27.54 s versus 29.78 s, with a 2.24 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (180 vs 180 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the iX3 and the ID.4 Pro are governed to 180 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 (7.64 kg/hp vs 10.07 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.60 seconds. The 1.69 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
