The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300 hits 100 km/h in 5.98 s versus 6.00 s for the Seal 313 2WD. The 0.02 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300 is doing 127 km/h against 135 km/h for the Seal 313 2WD. The gap is 0.25 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.

At 400 metres standing start, the Seal 313 2WD crosses the line in 14.21 s versus 14.27 s. The 0.06 s gap represents roughly 3 m of track - barely a car length.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the Seal 313 2WD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Seal 313 2WD finishes in 26.31 s versus 26.41 s, with a 0.09 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (230 km/h), the 7 E-Tense 4x4 300 never recovers its launch deficit.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the Seal 313 2WD never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.

With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.35 kg/hp vs 6.23 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.63 seconds. The 0.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
