Off the line, the Tang EV AWD 380kW hits 100 km/h in 4.39 s versus 7.58 s for the Compass 4xe. At this point, the Tang EV AWD 380kW leads by 3.20 s and sits roughly 17 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Tang EV AWD 380kW is doing 147 km/h against 116 km/h for the Compass 4xe. The gap is 1.84 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Tang EV AWD 380kW crosses the line in 12.64 s versus 15.62 s. The 2.98 s gap represents roughly 113 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Tang EV AWD 380kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 159 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Tang EV AWD 380kW finishes in 24.64 s versus 28.87 s, with a 4.23 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (200 km/h), the Compass 4xe never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Tang EV AWD 380kW is capped at 180 km/h, the Compass 4xe at 200 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 (4.78 kg/hp vs 9.56 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.66 seconds. The 3.20 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Tang EV AWD 380kW wins (4,38 s vs 7,58 s).
Tang EV AWD 380kW goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4,38 seconds (calibrated simulation).
