Off the line, the Mustang Mach-E GT hits 100 km/h in 3.73 s versus 6.08 s for the RAV4 PHEV. At this point, the Mustang Mach-E GT leads by 2.35 s and sits roughly 18 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Mustang Mach-E GT is doing 152 km/h against 129 km/h for the RAV4 PHEV. The gap is 1.67 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Mustang Mach-E GT crosses the line in 11.99 s versus 14.33 s. The 2.34 s gap represents roughly 101 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Mustang Mach-E GT continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 200 km/h versus 181 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Mustang Mach-E GT finishes in 22.87 s versus 25.91 s, with a 3.04 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (264 km/h), the RAV4 PHEV never recovers its launch deficit.
Electronically capped at 200 km/h, the Mustang Mach-E GT 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 (4.33 kg/hp vs 6.50 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.59 seconds. The 2.35 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Mustang Mach-E GT wins (3,73 s vs 6,08 s).
Mustang Mach-E GT goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,73 seconds (calibrated simulation).
