Off the line, the Atto 3 Extended Range hits 100 km/h in 7.41 s versus 8.05 s for the Leaf 40kWh ZE1. At this point, the Atto 3 Extended Range leads by 0.64 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Atto 3 Extended Range is doing 121 km/h against 116 km/h for the Leaf 40kWh ZE1. The gap is 0.19 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Atto 3 Extended Range crosses the line in 15.57 s versus 16.03 s. The 0.47 s gap represents roughly 18 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the Atto 3 Extended Range continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 144 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Atto 3 Extended Range finishes in 29.19 s versus 31.05 s, with a 1.85 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Atto 3 Extended Range is capped at 160 km/h, the Leaf 40kWh ZE1 at 144 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 (8.58 kg/hp vs 10.53 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.39 seconds. The 0.64 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Atto 3 Extended Range wins (7,41 s vs 8,05 s).
Atto 3 Extended Range goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7,41 seconds (calibrated simulation).
