Off the line, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD hits 100 km/h in 4.93 s versus 6.86 s for the iX3. At this point, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD leads by 1.94 s and sits roughly 16 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD is doing 144 km/h against 126 km/h for the iX3. The gap is 1.26 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD crosses the line in 13.14 s versus 15.07 s. The 1.93 s gap represents roughly 80 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 172 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the EX40 Twin Motor AWD finishes in 25.14 s versus 27.54 s, with a 2.40 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 EX40 Twin Motor AWD and the iX3 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 (5.17 kg/hp vs 7.64 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.53 seconds. The 1.94 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
