Off the line, the 600e 156 hits 100 km/h in 8.92 s versus 11.36 s for the Leaf 24kWh AZE0. At this point, the 600e 156 leads by 2.44 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 600e 156 is doing 115 km/h against 102 km/h for the Leaf 24kWh AZE0. The gap is 0.74 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 600e 156 crosses the line in 16.73 s versus 18.13 s. The 1.40 s gap represents roughly 48 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 600e 156 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 150 km/h versus 139 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 600e 156 finishes in 31.23 s versus 33.56 s, with a 2.34 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (150 vs 145 km/h), preventing any comeback.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 600e 156 is capped at 150 km/h, the Leaf 24kWh AZE0 at 145 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 electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (10.06 kg/hp vs 13.95 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 19.75 seconds. The 2.44 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, 600e 156 wins (8,92 s vs 11,36 s).
600e 156 goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,92 seconds (calibrated simulation).
