Off the line, the Seal 390 AWD hits 100 km/h in 3.77 s versus 8.05 s for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 220. At this point, the Seal 390 AWD leads by 4.28 s and sits roughly 28 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Seal 390 AWD is doing 155 km/h against 120 km/h for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 220. The gap is 2.95 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Seal 390 AWD crosses the line in 11.93 s versus 16.06 s. The 4.13 s gap represents roughly 158 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Seal 390 AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 163 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Seal 390 AWD finishes in 23.93 s versus 28.98 s, with a 5.05 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (233 km/h), the Scenic E-Tech Electric 220 never recovers its launch deficit.
The Seal 390 AWD features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the Scenic E-Tech Electric 220’s FWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the Seal 390 AWD 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (4.06 kg/hp vs 9.12 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.36 seconds. The 4.28 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Seal 390 AWD wins (3,77 s vs 8,05 s).
Seal 390 AWD goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,77 seconds (calibrated simulation).
