Off the line, the Han EV AWD 380kW hits 100 km/h in 3.86 s versus 4.42 s for the SQ5 SUV. The instant torque of 680 Nm from the electric motor makes the difference. At this point, the Han EV AWD 380kW leads by 0.56 s and sits roughly 1 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Han EV AWD 380kW is doing 154 km/h against 142 km/h for the SQ5 SUV. The gap is 0.40 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Han EV AWD 380kW crosses the line in 12.05 s versus 12.76 s. The 0.71 s gap represents roughly 34 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. The Han EV AWD 380kW maxes out at 180 km/h while the SQ5 SUV keeps accelerating towards 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.58 s.
Around 841 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the SQ5 SUV overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 70 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the SQ5 SUV finishes in 23.50 s versus 24.04 s. The 0.54 s delta in favour of the SQ5 SUV shows that top speed makes a clear difference.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Han EV AWD 380kW is capped at 180 km/h, the SQ5 SUV at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 6.96 seconds. The 0.56 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Han EV AWD 380kW wins (3,86 s vs 4,42 s).
Han EV AWD 380kW goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,86 seconds (calibrated simulation).
