Off the line, the Model Y Juniper RWD hits 100 km/h in 6.04 s versus 6.04 s for the Mustang Mach-E RWD. The 0.00 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.
At 200 metres, the Mustang Mach-E RWD is doing 129 km/h against 135 km/h for the Model Y Juniper RWD. The gap is 0.07 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Juniper RWD crosses the line in 14.24 s versus 14.39 s. The 0.15 s gap represents roughly 6 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the Model Y Juniper RWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 185 km/h versus 175 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Juniper RWD finishes in 25.58 s versus 26.73 s, with a 1.15 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model Y Juniper RWD is capped at 209 km/h, the Mustang Mach-E RWD at 180 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 (6.20 kg/hp vs 7.01 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.51 seconds. The 0.00 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
