Off the line, the Han EV AWD 380kW hits 100 km/h in 3.86 s versus 4.87 s for the S 580 e 4MATIC. At this point, the Han EV AWD 380kW leads by 1.01 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Han EV AWD 380kW is doing 154 km/h against 144 km/h for the S 580 e 4MATIC. The gap is 0.72 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 12.95 s. The 0.91 s gap represents roughly 45 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 S 580 e 4MATIC keeps accelerating towards 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) km/h. At 600 metres, the gap has dropped to 0.61 s.
Around 789 metres, both vehicles are level. This is the inversion point: the S 580 e 4MATIC overcomes its launch deficit thanks to a 70 km/h higher top speed.
At 1,000 metres, the S 580 e 4MATIC finishes in 23.10 s versus 24.04 s. The 0.94 s delta in favour of the S 580 e 4MATIC 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 S 580 e 4MATIC 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.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.22 kg/hp vs 4.84 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Unknown).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.15 seconds. The 1.01 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 4,87 s).
Han EV AWD 380kW goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,86 seconds (calibrated simulation).
